Maker Wars: 3D Printer Comes to Life Thanks to Students

A few weeks ago, 3 students approached me and asked if they could use our 3D Printer. “Of course!,” I said, not knowing that the printer wasn’t actually working. The students identified the necessary part and purchased it. They repaired the machine and it has been buzzing ever since, cranking out some cool, preliminary calibration products.

How might we encourage our students’ passions and create greater access to maker technology and curriculum?
