IVY STEM International School, Egypt
"We use Makers Empire as a tool to assist us in teaching 3D printing for young students in grades KG, G1, G2, and G3. We used some of the resources available in Makers Empire lesson library to build our first-year curriculum in which students practice 3D design in a form of Project Based Learning environment. One example of a project that students work on is to design a bag tag and keychain. Students also work on designing bird’s nest, street signs, maze, and printed coins... Our students think that Makers Empire is just AWESOME because they learn how to design in a user friendly, funny, and engaging environment through the Makers Empire software. We have some students who are using Makers Empire at home for more practice and the number is increasing every day. Teaching with Makers Empire helps very much in increasing the level of engagement of students and their interaction with the STEM teacher inside the classroom. It also helps in developing the students’ skills and gives them the chance to be creative and build something they would never expect they can build before!"
