Making it real: 3-D Printer Week at Tech Test Kitchen

3-D printing technology is rapidly expanding into classrooms, and being used for building molecular models, re-creating historical scenes and artifacts, making art projects, and demonstrating theories of physics.

Next week’s WSU Technology Test Kitchen kicks off from noon-1 Monday, April 27, with an overview of 3-D printing from Kirk Reinkens, director of the Frank Innovation Zone, Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, and David Drake, Fabrication Labs Manager and instructor for the School of Design + Construction Fab Labs.

At 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, the Test Kitchen will cover 3-D printing basics. At 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thursday, you can learn advanced design, and from 2-4 p.m. Friday is an open lab.

All sessions are in the AMS offices at Holland Library 150. No registration is required; just drop in. Full schedule here.

The Technology Test Kitchen is offered by WSU Global Campus and the Provost’s Office. It focuses on different educational technologies each week, and runs through May 1.
