UFSWE’s Outreach Chair coordinated both events in conjunction with science teachers at a localmiddle school. 3D printing was coupled with other fun and educational activities: constructingrollercoasters, marshmallow design challenge, building circuit boards, bottle rocket constructionand a foil boat challenge.Nearly one hundred and ten students (including ~80 girls) attended one of four hands-onsessions, which were held at MSL. The sessions were led by two to three librarians and assistedby approximately eight SWE members. We chose to use Tinkercad as the modeling programdue to its usability, the fact that it is freely available, and a special feature that would appeal tothis age group (the ability to download your design for Minecraft).

The nature of this program slowly shifted from post-war, non-academic teaching of construction craft skills to academic teaching of drafting and surveyingskills through the 1950s.6 It now is considered one of the leading programs for producingconstruction managers educated with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.
