At Makers Empire, we constantly seek out feedback on the Makers Empire 3D app and our accompanying teacher’s resources from classroom teachers and students. Members from our learning, technical and user experience teams regularly visit schools to deliver professional development and training to groups of teachers and test new features with students. Our products are designed for teachers and students so their insights and feedback are an essential part of our product development process.
Occasionally, we’ve had school customers ask us if they can bring a group of students to visit the Maker’s Empire office at Lot Fourteen in Adelaide, South Australia. We always enjoy hosting the teachers and students and have used this as an informal way to test new features in the app.
We have now decided to open our doors to all Makers Empire school customers for a complimentary program of school visits to the Makers Empire office in Australia. This will give your students an opportunity to visit Makers Empire HQ, to meet the team, to hear a talk from our team members and help test the Makers Empire 3D app.
