This study seeks to examinewhether 3D printed aids help spatial visual retention in 6​th​ graders. A modified Purdue spatialvisualization test was used as the assessment standard. Students’ mental rotation abilities wereassessed before and after the 3D printed aids were administered.

The lack of high school graduation for thesestudents can be attributed to several factors such as school engagement, home and classroomenvironment, social and peer pressures, and academic problems [2]. Additionally, minority studentsand women who persevere in high school and elect to attend a college or university may selectScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors; however, they tend to choosefields such as life and health sciences. The underrepresentation of women in engineering and earthsciences is chronically low at 20% and 40% of these majors, respectively.
