PAST Foundation provides teachers with a process to deliver meaningful STEM education.
“Meaningful” differs for every learner and every teacher. The PAST designed toolkit and Knowledge Capture program enables entire communities to transform traditional classrooms and reach every
learner. The results are engaged students, empowered teachers, and a community actively
involved in student success.

My work at PAST focuses on
COMMUNITY VOICEKnowledge Capture: Understanding YouPAST ethnographers use a set of methods that identify issues, success, and constraints to help steer policy and drive successful transformation.

What is 3D printing?
• Adding material layer by layer to build a structure.
• Different from subtractive manufacturing (mill, lathe, CNC routing) by adding material instead of taking it away.
• Plastic, powder, metal and other polymers.• Classroom models include ABS (think
McDonalds toys) and PLA plastic.

Industry ApplicationsWhy 3D printing will change the world
![Page 7: STEMx 3D printing 9/20/2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55499df7b4c9050c708b4ca3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Rapid Prototyping
• Current injection molding requires costly and time consuming mold creation.
• 3D printing allows for faster prototyping so a mold is only made once.

Internal Structure
• 3D printing allows for a customized internal structure of parts.
• This can be varied to save weight and conserve strength.

Personal Manufacturing
• Individuals can manufacture custom parts in their home.
• Examples include cell phone cases, camera mounts, jewelry, and whatever else you can think of!

Educational ApplicationsSo how is this useful for me?
![Page 11: STEMx 3D printing 9/20/2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55499df7b4c9050c708b4ca3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Application of Knowledge
• 3D printing and CNC machines applies geometry, trigonometry, design thinking and more.
![Page 12: STEMx 3D printing 9/20/2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55499df7b4c9050c708b4ca3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• School projects can take a lot of time, supplies and expertise to build.
• 3D printing allows for faster design cycle iterations, therefore more modifications.
• Students can try ideas out instead of teacher guiding toward “correct” answer and method.
• Ideo shopping cart is great example of design work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M66ZU2PCIcM

Produce Products
• Use the 3D printer to produce final products for student projects.
