The targets of the innovative educational 3DP methodology are:
-Teachers and educators: The project will target teachers by providing them with the necessary training and resources to effectively integrate 3D printing into their curricula and to use 3d printers. This will help to ensure that teachers have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively use this technology in the classroom using a cross curricular approach. (TINKERCAD and 3D printer operation
-Students (8-18): The project should target students by providing them with opportunities to learn and experiment with 3D printing. This will help to engage and motivate students, while also developing their critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills.
-Parents: The project should target parents by providing them with information about the benefits of 3D printing in education. This will help to create a supportive environment at home, where parents can encourage and motivate their children to engage in 3D printing activities. The prices of home 3D printers allow also to use this technology at home.
-Policy Makers: The project targets policy makers by providing evidence-based research about the benefits of 3D printing in education. This will influence policy decisions and create an enabling environment for the integration of 3D printing in existing curricula.
The targets of the project's innovative educational cross-curricular methodology that applies 3D printing to innovate traditional curricula in school education should be to engage and motivate teachers, students, parents, and policy makers to support the integration of 3D printing in education, while also developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills.
