3D PRINTING AND MATTER CONTROL

TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 2017

Three-dimensional printing as an emerging technology is a reality. This class includes basic instruction operating the ROBO 3D-Printer and the software that runs it, Matter Control.

This class will help you identify the various sites. The 3D-design software market is growing, and many products are supported by a variety of operating systems. Software can be curriculum-specific. This is a cutting edge machine that can enhance many different classroom subjects and allow you to offer students a new outlet for creativity.

Get Ready for the 2017 Great American Eclipse

On Monday, August 21, 2017 the shadow of the moon will pass across the US making a line from Oregon to South Carolina. August 21, 2017 is going to be a BIG deal, and we want to help you get ready. It is estimated that 50 million people will be able to witness “totality” for a few minutes as the moon completely blocks the sun. While Western New Yorkers will only be able to witness a partial eclipse, it will still be remarkable as about 75% of the sun will be obscured by the moon. Join us to learn about how eclipses happen, what to expect, and safe methods for viewing the eclipse. We want to empower you to become eclipse experts so that you can prepare your students to make the most of this remarkable event. In this Make-And-Take workshop you will make a viewer to safely view the eclipse--great Makerspace Project! 2 hours of CTLE credit.

Instructors: Mark Percy and Dr. Kevin Williams

Date: Thursday, April 20, 4:30-6:30pm

Location: SUNY/Buffalo State’s Ferguson Planetarium
