Shortly before the school closed for its Term 2 holidays, some of AISM’s bright students took part in the Educate 3D Challenge, an online contest on ideasworthmaking.com that encouraged students and teachers from South East Asia to come up with 3D Printing ideas that could inspire other schools on how to use 3D Printing in their classrooms. Entries were judged on popular and favourite phenomenal ideas based on the question "How Would You Use 3D Printing to Make Education More Engaging?"
By sharing their creativity on Ideas Worth Making, the students were able to connect and share ideas and innovations from other students and teachers within the community. Among those involved in this contest were Kenjiro Kajita, Eve Weir, Gwen Clayton, Holly Manders Jones, Ashra Bhattarai, Carey Loh, Regina Kewo, Jia Shwen Low, Ng Takeda, Yen Min Pheng, Maksim Chevelev, Sarmad Al-Atabi and Ashley Boudeville, all from different Year Levels. They successfully managed to win 1st and 2nd Prizes in the Most Popular School Projects category, winning a "Quick View" 3D scanner from Vagler & a 3D Software license; 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prizes in the Most Popular Learning Tool category, with a combined win of 3D Software vouchers worth S$500 on iMaterialize ; and 1st prize in the Jury Favourite Learning Tools, winning a 3D Software voucher worth S$250.
Congratulations to all students on their tremendous effort and time spent on formulating these ideas. Prizes are scheduled to be delivered to the school in September 2015.
