Do you have 3D pens to use in the classroom? Looking for a great 3D pen tutorial to get started? 3D pens are such a fun way to engage students in STEM concepts! 3D pens allow students to create and make their own 3D designs without any special skills. Students will love seeing their design come to life right in front of their eyes.
Getting started with 3D pens in the classroom is easy. If you don’t have a 3D pen yet, you’ll want to check out our guide to the best 3D pens for kids. I would strongly recommend the 3Doodler Start+ if you will be teaching kids under 12 due to the risk of burns with the hot tip from other models.
