The MakerBot Educators Guidebook is the most comprehensive blueprint for introducing 3D printing into the classroom. MakerBot collaborated with the largest community of 3D printing educators to create a crash course 3D printing, 9 classroom-ready 3D printing projects, and more!

The MakerBot Educators Guidebook, 3rd edition, returns with its third edition. Covering a crash-course in 3D printing and how to begin integrating it into the classroom, projects spanning Robotics, Engineering, Mathematics, Science as well as projects for Art, History and Music, as well as a collection of techniques and tricks developed by educators already experienced with 3D printing, and more!

Creating powerful learning environments Anyone can create a makerspace. This is the guide to creating a GREAT makerspace. Written by makerspace pioneer Laura Fleming, The Kickstart Guide to Making GREAT Makerspaces is filled with step-by-step, practical ideas that demystify the process of planning and creating a makerspace. Its workbook style ensures that by the time educators are done reading, they have a ready-to-implement plan, personalized for their classroom, school, or district. Readers will find A wealth of examples of great makerspaces in action Activities and strategies for inspiring making across the curriculum Plenty of room and guidance for brainstorming and developing a personalized plan

This book explores “making” in the school curriculum in a period in which the ability to create and respond to digital artifacts is key and focuses on makerspaces in educational settings. Combining the arts with design to give a fuller picture of the engagement and wonder that unfolds with maker literacies, the book moves across such settings and themes as: Creativity and writing in classrooms Making and developing civic engagement Emotional experiences of making Race and gender in makerspace Game-based play and coding in schools and draws its case studies from the Netherlands, Finland, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Giving as broad a perspective on makerspaces, making, and design as possible, the book will help scholars expand their understandings and help educators appreciate the power and worth of making to inspire students. It is useful for anyone hoping to apply design, maker, and makerspace approaches to their teaching and learning.

Get a hands-on introduction to the world of personal fabrication with the MakerBot, the easiest and most affordable rapid prototyper available. This book shows you how the MakerBot open source 3D printer democratizes manufacturing and brings the power of large factories right to your desktop. Not only will you learn how to operate MakerBot, you'll also get guidelines on how to design and print almost anything you can imagine -- including models, mechanical parts, puzzles, and toys. 3D printing is a key part of the prototyping process, yet desktop models to date have cost upwards of $10,000. But not any longer. A variant on the open source RepRap 3D printer, MakerBot is designed to be assembled quickly and cheaply. Even the deluxe MakerBot kit costs a little over $1,000. This fun and informative guide -- written by MakerBot's creators -- opens up a new realm of discovery and creativity for makers, hobbyists, students, artists, designers, and tinkerers. Understand exactly what's possible in the world of personal fabrication Learn how to assemble, upgrade, and tune the MakerBot 3D printer Familiarize yourself with the open source design tools you need to design 3D objects Get a guide to 10 interesting and useful object prototypes you can print right away

Annual Review of Nursing Research has provided nearly four decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to nurses everywhere. Its purpose is to critically examine the full gamut of literature on key topics in nursing practice, including nursing theory, care delivery, nursing education, and the professional aspects of nursing. This landmark annual review brings together internationally recognized experts in the fields of nursing and delivers the highest standards of content and authoritative reviews of research for students, researchers, and clinicians. In today’s climate, healthcare simulation is more important than ever. Creating consistent, leveled experiences through high-quality simulation allows students and practitioners the opportunity to learn in a safe and immersive environment. This 39th volume of Annual Review of Nursing Research addresses the current state of healthcare simulation in both academic and professional settings. Articles are written by noted experts in the field and discuss extended reality, new technologies, briefing, outcome evaluation, and professional development. Key Topics: Discusses simulation use in undergraduate and graduate education Features a new debriefing tool on interprofessional simulation Addresses current considerations for effective operations in simulation Highlights the use of virtual and augmented realities, as well as 3D printing
