From Kindergarten teachers to college professors, from Hawaii to Massachusetts, the Ultimaker Pioneers share their 3D printing journeys on Ultimaker's Education page.
Meet the Pioneers
The Ultimaker Education Pioneers are a community of educators who are committed to bringing digital fabrication to the classroom, fostering student engagement, and sharing their ideas with others. They are leading the way by developing and sharing 3D printing lessons, programs, labs, and classroom experiences.
Ultimaker is proud to support this group of educators and to feature and promote their work, regardless of what kinds of 3D printers they use in their classrooms. We believe that everyone benefits from an open community that shares ideas, resources, experience, and knowledge.
Say hello to our Ultimaker Education Pioneers:

As a science teacher, I try to instill in my students the same kind of curiosity and enthusiasm about the natural world that I possess. This is rarely a challenge since these qualities come naturally to children; however, it is also my responsibility to help guide my students to scientific understanding. Therein lies the challenge -- and much of the joy -- of teaching. There is nothing quite like experiencing moments of discovery and understanding through the eyes of a child.

In the case of failure, my students know that they should figure out what went wrong and why. They know that failure should never be the end of any problem. It's just another step in the process.

For myself, I try to use reflective practices in teaching and learning. I also practice what I preach, being a life long learner, as well as practicing artist. I try to engage others through the arts, as it has helped me greatly to understand life through art as a child, and as an adult. For any student that I have come in contact with, my hope and dream is for them to realize their goals to grow as an active citizen of the world, and hope that maybe art touched their lives and helped them become a life long learner.

Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Indianapolis, IN
Subjects: Interdisciplinary
My job is to basically condense the world down into something that can fit into a blind child's hands. That is a very simple goal with a complex means of achieving it. There's nothing more empowering than finishing a project and delivering it to classroom and hear that initial "Oh! That's what that looks like!"

The best thing we can teach students is how to fail, try again, fail some more, and keep trying again until they get where they want to be. This comes naturally to students when they are engaged in a design process, but is more difficult for them to embrace in mathematics. My hope is that maker/design experiences can help students learn how to succeed in all of their courses.

Makerspaces are often mistaken for extensions of a school science or engineering department, but a great deal is lost if a makerspace is only used specifically for STEM projects. The tinkering, iteration, and physical connection to content afforded by a makerspace can be brought to *every* subject area, from World Language to Math to Social Studies.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Subjects: Science & Technology, Healthcare and Design
I teach design and 3d printing skills to medical students and clinicians not just so they know how to 3D print, but also to change the way they think about the malleability of their environment. I believe that if we give people in healthcare the tools and environment to create, it will promote a creative spirit that stimulates positive change.

Making gives you the freedom and power to change your world. I love teaching people to make things, it's like going on a journey with them from just trying to make something work and fighting through failure to confidently using what they've learned to bring an idea from inside their head to life.

In my classroom, I want my students’ to experience the design thinking learning process and to redefine what they think is possible. Through design, my students will learn that they have the power to change the world. Design Thinking is an approach to learning that focuses on developing students’ creative confidence. Students will engage in hands-on design challenges that focus on developing empathy, promoting a bias toward action, encouraging ideation, developing metacognitive awareness and fostering active problem solving. I call my students the dreamMakers. If you can "Dream it, you can Make it."

My recent research has focused on student understanding on the learning of physics. This is a field classified as Physics Education Research. I have been interested in finding ways to increase understanding of physics to all students and I have focused on presenting information with non-visual methods. I am currently developing 3D Printable Tactile Physics Learning Objects such as pulleys and levers as well as calculated surfaces such as diffraction patterns and normal distributions.

Nothing is impossible. Daunting tasks can be broken down into tiny, manageable ones. Kids are creative, motivated, and giving. If you give them a project involving technology that will benefit the social good, they will JUMP at the opportunity to problem solve and make it happen, above and beyond what us as adults can dream!

I work in a library, so a lot of what I'm doing is instructional support and not necessarily instruction. Not everybody learns best through reading or listening —some people need a multimodal learning experience and to me that's exactly what 3D printing represents. 3D printing is a tactile approach to learning that allows us to make a real connection.

To be able to visualize an object and go through the process of creating it then holding it in your hands is one of the most valuable experiences in education. The value of 3D printing for me is that it puts the creator in control of the entire design process.
