TheCREATE Education Project一个旨在将3D印刷带到英国教室的平台，已宣布与领先的汽车和航空发动机制造商合作推出了首个初级教育3D印刷中心Rolls-Royce.
Wyndham Primary Academy位于英国德比的一所学校被揭露为3D印刷中心的位置，赢得了通过Create Education进行的比赛。竞争要求学校提交大纲，说明为什么应该选择它们成为3D印刷教育的卓越中心。这所选择的学校现在是Create Education 3D打印套餐的骄傲获得者。
“We were honoured to partner with Rolls-Royce to find a primary school who deserved to be appointed as the UK’s first primary level CREATE Education Hub,” commented Michelle Chatterley, Head of CREATE Education. “The task was more difficult than we first thought, with many schools in the selection process really working hard to engage their pupils often in deprived areas in STEAM subjects.”
“Wyndham was a perfect choice, they share many of our values and have the vision to ensure that through deeper learning all pupils have an equal chance to achieve their dreams.”
创建教育项目
创建教育项目是由保罗·克罗夫特（Paul Croft）创立的Ultimaker GBand3DGBIRE, in 2014. It aims to provide free resources and support to help UK educators introduce and integrate 3D printing into primary, secondary and higher education. Partnering with Ultimaker, these resources include 3D printing hardware, 3D software, training and consumables. In doing so, the program seeks to empower students with a skill set suited for ‘21st Century careers.’
Croft spoke with 3D Printing Industryin 2018, where he explained that “The CREATE Education Project was set up to make 3D technologies available to everyone […] Long-term we believe that by removing the barriers to adoption, including budgets and availability of resources, we will be able to address the skills gap in this country.”
为了帮助进一步实现这一目标，创建教育准备了一套3D打印技术，以免费运送到学校。它包括Ultimaker 3D打印机，软件，课程咨询，课程CPD以及技术培训以及终身课程和技术支持。
以及3 d打印到教室,the package is also intended to raise the attainment level of a region where education attainment scores are lower than the national average, particularly for disadvantaged children. Therefore, CREATE Education sent out a call to schools in theDerby area，处于弱势儿童离开小学11.9个月的地方，汇集了一个宣传，概述了为什么应该选择他们的学校奖。还需要该球场来解释如何在学校内接受该技术，并在项目中使用该技术，以成为3D印刷教育的卓越中心。
After undergoing the application and selection process, CREATE Education selected Wyndham Primary Academy as the chosen hub. The school has made significant progress over the past eight years, turning from a bottom 200 UK school in terms of performance and attainment in 2011, to achieving World Class School status in 2017. In 2019, the school is now the UK’s first Primary Education 3D printing hub.
小学教育3D印刷中心的启动日在10月24日星期四在温德姆小学学院举行，其中包括剪彩仪式，其中包括温德姆小学学院，罗尔斯·罗伊斯和创造教育项目的代表的讲话。在仪式上还与受邀者一起进行了各种3D打印活动，包括在Allenton社区小学，盖顿初中和理查森endowed小学的比赛中获得亚军。
Preparing students for Industry 4.0
Increasingly, 3D printers are finding their way into classrooms through educational initiatives like the CREATE Education Project, aiming to equip young minds with the required skill sets for future careers in Industry 4.0.
Award winningOEMGE Additive正在运行五年Additive Education Program(AEP) where it aims to provide 3D printing technology toprimary and secondary schools, including some universities and colleges. Now in its third year, the company explains that it expects to have given overone million studentsthe opportunity to use 3D printing by 2020.
Auburn UniversitysNational Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence（NCAME）还提供了一项计划，以增加在工业3D打印方面获得实际经验的学生人数。与合作伙伴关系Huntsville City Schools在阿拉巴马州，新计划旨在使该地区的学生能够以添加剂制造证书，同时还为他们的工作赢得了大学学分。
