Teaching & Learning Math with 3D Printing
September 19, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Location: Howell Meeting Room (Landis Academic Center – 2nd Floor)
Workshop provided by Wilson Library Makerspace and
Joan Horvath and Rich Cameron, Nonscriptum LLC
AGENDA
12p-1p
Make: Geometry, Make:Trigonometry, and Make: Calculus books
These works teach the project first and introduce algebra afterteaching the concepts with hands-on models, projects withcommon objects, and historical context. The design of thesemodels also makes them ideal for those who learn differently.
1p-2p
OpenSCAD: Hands on tutorial
OpenSCAD is an open source code-based CAD program used to create the models in all three books. The models are designed to be downloaded from open-source repositories tied to each book.
Participants who want to follow along should download and install OpenSCAD ahead of time from openscad.org/downloads, available for Mac/Windows/Linux.
