Message from Phil our lead trainer.
“I’ve been teaching children about 3D printing since 2011 and trained schools on how to integrate 3D printing in lessons. 3D printing training is a fun and hands on experience. Workshops will cover the learnbylayers curriculum and what teachers need to know in the classroom. I know what works and what doesn’t work in lessons and will get you and your school up and running in no time. I hold the Associate Facilitator mark from STEM Learning UK (the biggest provider of STEM teacher training in the UK) and I am a certified Lead Teacher of STEM. The workshops I deliver are interactive, engaging and most of all challenging. Teachers leave with a breadth of knowledge and the tools they need to start teaching 3D printing.”

audience and online.
It turned out that the knowledge gained with the help of MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is stronger than that obtained by the traditional method.
Moreover, underperforming students after taking an online course (for example, a difficult course in mechanics) showed the same results as their more successful classmates. Thus, by the end of online learning, students acquired the same knowledge, regardless of the level of entry.
learn at your own pace
Each student learns theoretical material at his own pace - some need more time, some already know the material partially, some learn faster than others;
deeper understanding
Due to the fact that class time is devoted exclusively to practical and group work, there is a deeper understanding of the application of acquired knowledge in practice;
systematic approach
The teacher monitors the progress of each of the cadets, it will be possible to proceed to the next modules of the course having achieved confident results in the completed practical tasks and exercises.

3D modeling is currently one of the most highly paid and promising areas in the field of new technologies. If you spend most of your time at the computer or want to make a choice in favor of a new profession, you need a thoughtful preparation for 3D courses. 3D printing courses for kids are the best solution. Such courses will help the child understand modern modeling and teach him discipline.
Now, with our modeling and printing courses, you can turn all computer models into real objects using a state-of-the-art 3D printer. In addition, this is just an exciting activity, and not some boring 3D modeling courses. Also, children will get a unique experience in designing and building 3D models not only in an interactive virtual world on a computer, but also in reality. A 3d printer for classes will make their learning even more interesting.
Benefits
Kids will learn how to design beautiful 3D objects with all the details of how they are made. The 3D printer will open up unique possibilities.
Start by understanding the basics and the simplest things. To better improve their skills, children need to know and understand the basics of modeling - all this can be obtained in modeling courses.
3D modeling and printing is one of the most demanded areas in the IT industry. This is a real art that opens up great prospects for everyone who wants to master such graphics. With the help of modern modeling, projects of buildings and structures are created, special effects from the world of cinema are made, and they are also often used in medicine.
The online program's instructors have specially designed cutting-edge modeling and printing courses for young children. Further, due to the gradual increase in the overall level of complexity, all invited students will quickly master the interface.
During the training itself, students will learn the features of graphics and master its creation. Courses provide an opportunity to gain skills in the shortest possible time and become a valuable specialist.
3D printing technologies are becoming more and more popular today. They open up impressive possibilities for us, which relatively recently could only be read in science fiction books. 3D printers are widely used in industrial, military, engineering, medical and other industries. This technology gives a chance in the shortest possible time to obtain a prototype of any product, a workpiece and a high-quality model, and in the near future it will take an important place in the daily life of every person.
Technical Development Center WOWSTUDY invites children to 3D printing and modeling courses that will open up a new cognitive world and contribute to the development of creativity and spatial imagination.
How 3d printing is trained
In our school, training takes place in several directions. We teach children how to work with specialized programs for designing three-dimensional models. Working with such software products develops children's imagination, which will be useful to them in other industries in the future. The educational process begins with simple tasks: designing a cone, sphere and other shapes, and ends with modeling extremely complex parts, mechanisms, robots.
The second direction is the implementation of the developed models on a 3D printer. We show how to print on a printer, talk about the principle of its operation. In the practical part, students independently print designed products under the guidance of teachers.
At the end of the exam and certification, the participants receive the corresponding document.
3 reasons why you will love 3d modeling courses
Technical clubs in Moscow are growing in popularity and are in high demand, but not every school can provide a versatile approach to building lessons. We offer:
A unique curriculum. Students receive theoretical and practical knowledge in an entertaining way. Our lessons are fun for kids of all ages. Competent presentation of the material ensures its better perception and assimilation.
Creative approach. In each lesson, we design different parts, which instills an interest in technology, engineering and science in general, and also develops creative thinking.
Fascinating practice. All practical exercises are structured in such a way that the child was interested. Participants implement many projects on their own, which allows them to gain maximum knowledge. This option is suitable for everyone, regardless of the level of his preparation.

3D modeling and printing: education for children 3 one engineering project cannot do without 3D modeling. In the 21st century, this innovation has become commonplace. Purchasing specialty printers has become affordable, and many people print toys, tools, small shelves, and miniature copies of anything at home. But in order to do it right, there are special 3D modeling courses for children that will help from childhood to master all the intricacies of designing and creating unique objects with their own hands. Stages and features of training
3D printing training is carried out in several stages. First, the theoretical part is fully mastered, there is an acquaintance with programs that create 3D models. It helps develop children's imaginations, from simple cone mock-ups and spheres, to complex prototypes of houses, vehicles, and more. After theory, we move on to practice. The children will master the 3D printer, learn and print the resulting samples, learn how to correctly set commands to the printing device, study its design and operation principle. 3D modeling and printing courses are conducted on products designed by the children themselves, and this allows them to see the result and the success of their own efforts. During the lessons, children will learn different types of plastic and take part in master classes on the principles of 3D scanning.
Benefits of learning
There are several reasons why 3D printing courses are so useful for students: An interesting curriculum. During the training period, the guys get grandiose emotions, improve their geometric knowledge and develop their visual imagination to the maximum; Instilling interest in innovative technologies. With each lesson, the student will create and model unique projects, which will help instill a “love” for design, technology and science from childhood; Stimulation of creative thinking. Students work independently on interactive tasks, which allows them to increase their level of preparation and develop creative thinking.
In the future, all these skills will be very useful for inspiring and implementing the most unique ideas. Training is carried out using the latest equipment and tools. An individual approach is applied to each child and the degree of his education is carefully monitored. If desired, each parent can attend the classes. The formation of small groups makes it possible to work in a more comfortable environment, and this contributes to better assimilation of information. At the end of the course, the student will receive a certificate.
