3D Printed Student Business - November 24th

We have a confirmed date for our 2023 School Market Day.  This is taking place at Auroa Primary School, South Taranaki on Friday 24th November 2023.   We will be selling a number of innovation items at this event, which have been featured on this blog by students (Y3 and Y4) of our class.  Our classrooms throughout the school including the Y7/8 students who are selling items related to the use of our school Laser Cutter, Poster Making Machine and Sticker Making Machine.

We are also looking at refining this site a little bit in terms of presentation and sharing.   

Traditionally since 2015 when we first started posting to this blog with the sharing being limited to Twitter/X.  Initially the teacher responsible for this blog had a significant following (over 9k teachers). 
  
Due to circumstances outside of my control the main account associated with this (@NZWaikato) was deleted and I was unable to recover my account (despite repeatedly trying for several months).   Since then I have continued to share to Twitter/X however my account has not had the same sharing since then and the platform as itself has been struggling as of late.   As a consequence of this we are looking at sharing the material from this site to some different locations such as Instagram and Pinterest.   

The purpose of doing that is the same reason that the site was established for.   We always intended to share examples of works and ideas relating to the use of 3D Printer in the classrooms.  We since the establishment of the site not only have 3D Printers been used in the classroom but also additional resources as well (Printers, Sticker Machines, Laser Cutter) however while we intend sharing examples of these items on the site we are not intending to change the name of the site!
