Testimonials
“I just want to say thank you for the training today. My staff have come away with so many positives and can immediately start planning how to use the printer with the children. It is so refreshing to have staff come away from a course and be so enthused about how they can implement this new learning. Our children are going to love the endless possibilities! Thank you again for such great service from start to finish.”
Jo Quarry, Headteacher, Ocean Primary Academy.
“Excellent presentations and purposeful content, presented at the right pitch. Very informative and accessible, can easily include 3D printing into current schemes. I enjoyed the practical activity and opportunity to speak with other teachers.”
Claire Nobes, Head of Technology, The Castle School
“Very good course, likely to improve my teaching, highly recommended.”
