PRESENTER: zSpace LOCATION: ECBOCES West Training Room DESCRIPTION: Join us for a dynamic, hands-on training where creativity meets cutting-edge technology! Designed for educators of 5th grade and up, this session will walk participants through a project-based learning (PBL) process that starts with AI-powered brainstorming and flows through 3D model creation in Tinkercad, immersive model exploration using zSpace devices, and final output with Cura for 3D printing. Along the way, teachers will gain practical experience with tools that bring design thinking and STEM education to life in the classroom. Led by expert trainers from zSpace, this engaging workshop will not only build your skills but also give you the chance to win an Ender 3 3D printer or other fun STEM prizes. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your integration of tech in the classroom, this training offers fresh ideas, ready-to-use tools, and inspiring possibilities for student engagement. This is a hands on training and best appreciated in person. Zoom option is only offered for special situations.
