Alameda Community Learning Center science facilitator Carlton Grizzle will bring cutting-edge learning experiences to students this year with the help of a new MakerBot 3D printer he was recently awarded by the manufacturer. Grizzle was one of 10 educators chosen from over 100 applicants to receive a MakerBot Cupcake CNC Deluxe Kit, a tool that will instantly make him one of the most innovative teachers in the world.
The MakerBot Cupcake CNC is an affordable, open source 3D printer that turns digital designs into physical objects. The Cupcake CNC starts by drawing a picture of the first layer of an object in plastic. It then raises the extruder up 13 of a millimeter and draws the next layer. When all the layers are complete Marquise Blair Seahawks Jersey , the user has manufactured a 3D object from an original or an open source design. MakerBot users have created everything from model cars to robot parts, engagement rings, referee whistles and chess pieces.
MakerBot launched the competition for the 3D printer over the summer, with the goal of getting more MakerBots into teachers' hands and giving them creative tools that will inspire young people to use their imaginations and creativity. Applicants submitted proposals for how they would integrate the MakerBot into their curriculum, including a description of the learning environment L.J. Collier Seahawks Jersey , the subject they teach, and a lesson plan to be implemented if awarded the MakerBot. Winning proposals were chosen based on clarity, innovation and curriculum integration.
