How 3D Printing in the Cloud Changed Teachers' Classrooms for Good

Here are a few quotes from the article that shows how a few happy Polar Cloud teachers have been using the platform to handle all of their classroom's 3D printing.

JH: The process of onboarding students is fast, easy, and convenient. Even kindergarten students can do it with ease!

MT: I can manage printers, jobs, see processes and more from any web-connected device, such as a desktop, laptop, tablet (iPad) or even my phone. For large jobs (if I am concerned), I can watch and check on jobs that may be running overnight from my devices at my house (or anywhere with an Internet connection).

JH: I love the curriculum provided on the Polar Cloud. Our favorite challenge is the Tinkering with Turbines Project. Moving from printing a single object to printing multiple parts that can be combined & assembled with motors, batteries, and wires really opens their eyes to how 3D printing is used in the real world. Seeing the "part to whole" concept & realizing that in combination with other materials, you can create something that does a job and is useful is what this process and learning journey is all about.

RA: I'm on their YouTube videos whenever I get stuck. Just watched one this week on a dead screen issue. They are always helpful if that's the problem I have!

Spatial Intelligence Needs a Physical Outlet
Spatial Intelligence Needs a Physical Outlet
Spatial intelligence underpins how we reason about shape, scale, and structure, yet it’s rarely taught directly. 3D printing changes that by turning mental models into physical reality, giving spatial thinking something solid to push against.
