Many 3-D printing companies have developed substantial resources to help teachers [https://ultimaker.com/de/learn/education-blog], [https://3dprint.com/tag/3d-printed-educational-aids/] with large collections of free learning aid designs [https://www.youmagine.com/designs/latest/education], [https://www.myminifactory.com/category/education]. 3D printers can be powerful tools for education as <ref>Chelsea Schelly, Gerald Anzalone, Bas Wijnen, Joshua M. Pearce, (2015). [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1045926X15000051 Open-source 3-D printing Technologies for education: Bringing Additive Manufacturing to the Classroom].''Journal of Visual Languages & Computing.'' 28(2015)226–237.

*  Open-source 3D printing provides a cost efficient means of STEM education.
*  These technologies can also empower student-driven engaged learning.
Some benefits of 3D printing educational aids include:
# provides teachers with 3D visual aids that they can use in their classroom to illustrate challenging concepts
# 3D printers are cool so easier to get student interest as compared to 2D pictures
# Can enhance hands-on learning and learning by doing by having students make their own learning aids and all the concomitant skills associated with it (e.g. using OS CAD software)
    
As we know, distributed 3-D printing can often radically reduce costs and make real scientific equipment available even in schools.<ref>J.M. Pearce, “[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/PT.3.2160 Commentary: Open-source hardware for research and education]”, ''Physics Today'' '''66'''(11), 8 (2013); doi: 10.1063/PT.3.2160</ref> This is particularly important for schools in developing regions.<ref> J. Gwamuri, Joshua M. Pearce, "Open source 3D printers: an appropriate technology for building low cost optics labs for the developing communities", ''Proc. SPIE 10452, 14th Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2017'', 104522S (16 August 2017); doi: 10.1117/12.2269852; http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.2269852  [https://www.academia.edu/34348328/Open_Source_3-D_Printers_An_Appropriate_Technology_for_Building_Low_Cost_Optics_Labs_for_the_Developing_Communities open access]</ref> In this assignment we will leverage basic science and design to help k-12 teachers make any subject easier to teach with learning aids at a low cost.

==Assignment==
# Identify an educational aid that you would like to design to be an open source 3D printable technology
# Make sure someone else has not already done it : [http://www.yeggi.com/ Yeggi] More than one of you can tackle the same technology in a different way. You may also improve upon existing designs if you do so in a '''significant''' way. 
# Design 3D printable components with <u>ONLY</u> OS CAD packages (e.g. OpenSCAD, FreeCAD, or Blender) 
# Publish a picture, stl and source code for your design on https://www.myminifactory.com/ and make sure to add it to the correct subject and grade level for https://www.myminifactory.com/category/education
# In the description on MyMiniFactory explain what your device is trying to teach, include theory, equations, links to Wikipedia etc. - whatever is relevant. Include the approximate cost of your print and then compare it to a commercial offering with their price and a hyperlink if available.
# Then add picture, link to your project page,cost savings if any, hyperlink to commercial equivalent in gallery below following the example.
# Print education aid and bring to class in bag with your name on/in it (online students drop off on due date by class time in box outside of my office) - '''See due dates on syllabus'''

==Grading==
* 20% Print quality
* 30% Documentation
* 25% Design (design for printing, plastic minimization)
* 25% Function - Does it work? (e.g. could it actually help teach someone something)

Automatic reductions:
-50% no source or the use of non-OS software
-10% per day for late
