Technology
Why It's Important
As adults, we have to think about how we can effectively use technology in our classrooms to have students positively and productively create with technology, rather than just consume.
Our technology training can cover anywhere from robotics training, to 3D printing and laser engraving and cutting.
All of these technologies will revolutionize the way your students learn about a wide range of subjects, from engineering and design, to biology and art.
How We Apply It
You can expect...
- Virtual or in-person learning
- To understand the basics of your chosen technology & how to operate the model
- To get ample practice with the instructions or coding language of your technology
- To discover meaningful uses for your chosen technology in any subject area for seamless integration
Benefits of Working With Us
At WhyMaker, we have a deep passion for makerspace technologies, including robotics, drones, 3D printing, coding, STEM kits, and a wide array of other exciting tools and resources that inspire creativity and hands-on learning experiences.
For example, the entire Greenburgh School District in Hartsdale, New York tasked us to have students use 3D printers in their typical classes by building it into their curriculum projects.
