=Multiday Teacher Workshop: An Introduction to 3-D Printing= July 9, 2014

8:30am – 2:30pm  Ryan Education Center, Studio C   $150; 15 CPDUs ** Three-day workshop: July 9, 10, 11 ** This workshop introduces art, architecture, and design teachers to newly available 3-D printer technologies and concepts of additive manufacturing. A selection of objects from the Art Institute’s design objects and furniture collection will be used to consider the conceptual shift involved in designing using 3-D printing. Participants will use 3-D modeling software and work collaboratively to create new designs or modify existing objects in ways that optimize the opportunities available through 3-D printing.

The workshop approach is modeled on 21st-century skills and promotes real-world applications along with cooperative and integrated learning approaches. This workshop is led by artist, engineer, and educator Taylor Hokanson. Learn more about his work.

One graduate credit will be offered for this program for an additional $100. Please send an e-mail to teacherworkshops@artic.edu to indicate your interest in this offering.

Below is a list of materials we have compiled for you in preparation of this workshop.

//The Art of 3D Printing // Artist Tom Burtonwood talks with art critic, curator & writer Alicia Eler on how he became interested in 3D printing, his work, and his insights on the future use of this technology. Tom Burtonwood began an artist residency at the Art Institute of Chicago in January, 2014.
 * Readings**

//Please Feel the Museum: The Emergence of 3D Printing and Scanning // This paper presented at the annual conference of Museums and the Web in April, 2013 documents and explores how 3D printing and scanning can be used to help our audiences feel the museum. The emergence of a 3D production ecosystem that is broadly accessible both in cost and ease of use makes this technology of particular and immediate interest to museums today in terms of the dialogue of participatory and collaborative production. Models of museum objects can take on a creative life by being connected through programming and sensors. Museums and the Web has explored how the Internet can be used to further the missions of our museums. In terms of 3D printing, it adds a new parallel dimension by re-materializing the Web in small plastic forms.

Maker Education Initiative Maker Education Initiative was formed in 2012 in response to President Obama's "Educate to Innovate" campaign to move American students from the middle to the top of the pack in science and math achievement over the next decade. Programs of Maker Ed include Maker Corps, an expanding networks of leading innovators to lead creative experiences for youth; Young Makers, a program makes it possible for young people to exhibit their creative projects at a showcase event under the guidance of a mentor; Maker VISTA, a partnership between Maker Ed and AmeriCorps VISTA and 10 youth serving organizations in high poverty communities nationwide; Open Portfolio Project ; and Making Possibilities Workshop.

Printrbot Learn This is an alternative learning website initiated and sponsored by Printrbot, the low cost, beginner use 3D printer funded originally by Kickstarter and run by teachers. The Printrbot team consists of experienced educators and 3D printing enthusiasts, Josh Ajima and Clarence Fisher. Learners will be able to find blog updates, discussions, and the latest trends of 3D printing as well as tutorials that helped them get acquainted with this technology.
