New MakerBot Trend Report Highlights Ongoing Use of 3D Printing in Remote Learning Environments<\/b><\/p>\n

Findings from MakerBot\u2019s new trend report on 3D printing in education show its significance to continue engaging students and encouraging team collaboration in remote settings<\/i><\/p>\n

BROOKLYN, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMakerBot, a Stratasys company (Nasdaq: SSYS), today released its 2nd<\/sup> annual report on Trends in 3D Printing and STEAM Education, revealing how respondents leveraged 3D printing to amplify student engagement and collaboration in remote and virtual learning environments. Based on over 1,000 responses from education professionals around the world, the report also highlights some of the key factors that are leading to the increased use of 3D printing for lessons, coursework, and research projects.\n<\/p>\n

\nKey findings from the report showed that while many schools were closed over the past year, respondents were still able to use 3D printing to support their lessons and drive student participation. Virtual learning has been a challenge for respondents, with many citing low student engagement (48%) as an obstacle. To increase involvement, respondents added extra layers of complexity to their teachings to boost creative thinking and encourage student collaboration. 57% of respondents used 3D printing for student-designed prototypes for problem-based learning projects, while 36% used 3D-printed parts related to specific lessons plans to increase student engagement. But not all remote experiences were equivalent\u201440% of respondents cited that their students were unable to practice their learnings due to the lack of access to equipment.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFor years, we have seen the power of 3D printing used to elevate student learning and development in the classroom. As schools look to bridge the skills gap in today\u2019s workforce, building students\u2019 critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills will be increasingly important,\u201d said Nadav Goshen, CEO, MakerBot. \u201cOver the past year, educators took 3D printing one step further, extending its capabilities to support remote education to keep students challenged, collaborative, and\u2013most importantly\u2013engaged.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
