3D Printing in Kindergarten..."Printergarten"?

This past weekend my elementary school held "Saturday School"...a 1/2 day making up one of the days we missed back in February due to snow and ice. You would think that it wouldn't be a noteworthy day, especially since it was a make-up day.  Not so!  In one particular kindergarten class, they were experiencing the use of a 3D printer!  

The students were able to select the models for the objects they wanted to have printed, including a Star Wars "Death Star", letters of the alphabet, a cupcake with a separate top and bottom, and a chameleon! It was like having a MakerSpace in their classroom for the day!  What a unique and memorable learning experience using technology in education!
