Montana School for the Deaf and the Blind
“Since students have a variety of eye conditions and useable sight, we have had to become creative in using Makers Empire. Some students pair up together to share strengths. Some prefer using the iPad with zoom, while others prefer using the computer with or without assistive technology features like zoom, JAWS, and/or Fusion. Some students like using Makers Empire on the SmartBoard and others like to team up with a teacher and describe ideas... Many of our students do not like to edit/make changes/improve in daily work. However, students will notice “mistakes” in their prints and are willing and excited to go through the Engineering Design Process to make changes. This is now spilling over to other areas and I love it! Makers Empire has really opened students up to the possibilities of creating in 3D and possible career paths that they can follow.”
