Oser Founder EdTech Show Daily Thursday, January 25, 2018 4 With DeltaMaker 3D Printers, Engineering Meets Aesthetics without Compromise DeltaMaker manufactures high-quality 3D printers with features and perform- ance that far exceed the capabilities of other desktop 3D printers on the market. The company, founded in 2013, is head- quartered in Orlando, Florida where it also manufactures its printers. DeltaMaker re-envisioned the 3D printer with a tall, open design for easier view- ing of the printed objects, all-metal con- struction for more reliable printing and full wireless control for greater ease of use. The company's goal at FETC is to introduce educators to a new type of 3D printer; one that is ideal for use in their classrooms, media centers and school makerspaces. The DeltaMaker 3D printer is a sturdy, highly reliable 3D printer, constructed from industrial-strength components to meet the demands of today's hands-on classroom environ- ment. DeltaMaker 3D printers are manu- factured from high-strength, aircraft- grade aluminum to ensure they provide years of reliable operation. According to Chief Executive Officer Bob Houston, the 3D printing market needed some shaking up in terms of prod- uct design. The company was not interested in being "just another 3D printer." It was time for an aes- thetically pleasing, high-performance 3D printer to be introduced at an affordable price. The design is the most important factor that set the company apart. Minimalist design has become main- stream, and the company is proud to bring it to the desktop 3D printer market. This seamless integration of form and Boxlight Committed to STEM Education To help busy educators start or expand their STEM (and STEAM) instruction, K-12 digital classroom technology experts at Boxlight have made available two free STEM resources: monthly STEM lessons and "The Big Guide to STEM." Now, instead of teachers having to add the challenge of coming up with new STEM lesson ideas to an already hectic work load, they can access the MimioConnect™ Interactive Teaching Community to have a steady stream of ready-made, well-thought-out, easy-to- execute lessons right at their fingertips. The monthly lessons are centered on the use of sensors and data loggers (such as those embedded within the Labdisc portable STEM lab) in order to facilitate modern science standards requirements of inquiry-based learning and the development of students' prob- lem solving skills. Some of the interac- tive STEM lessons also utilize technol- ogy such as document cameras and IWBs. The collection of activities ranges from elementary to high school and cover science areas for biology, chemistry, environmental and physical science. In addition, they incorporate opportunities for knowledge checks and student collaboration. Av a i l a b l e at no charge at n e w s . m i m i o .boxlight.com / s t e m - g u i d e , "The Big Guide to STEM" is a 30-page comprehensive PDF that explains why STEM is critical for today's students and shares several ways to harness STE(A)M learning's potential for promoting critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, col- laboration, inquiry and teamwork. Links throughout the guide give readers easy access to a host of resources and supple- mentary information. Additionally, the guide includes an at-a-glance infographic on the current state of STEM professions Continued on Page 21 Continued on Page 21
