3D printing comes to Australian school kids

Students from three secondary schools from Western Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria have experienced the cutting-edge of design technology thanks to a project delivered by Questacon The National Science and Technology Centre. I commend schools right across Australia that are embracing 3D design and printing in classrooms I was recently at Ironside State School in St Lucia, Queensland, and was amazed by the 3D printers the kids were using every day to complement their STEM based subjects. Mrs Andrews acknowledged key partner Raytheon Australia for their support in delivering the programme, which is one of a series of programmes supported under a three-year partnership between Questacon and Raytheon Australia.
