There is a way to involve the youngest, even primary school children, in a real scientific process: Coding, a system in which the student, through a predetermined series of commands, constructs a programme to achieve a goal. If the goal is not achieved, the error is analysed and the programme is modified. The exercise of learning from one's mistakes and reformulating the starting hypothesis is an important exercise in logic.
The peculiarity of the 3D printer is that it does not print documents, but physical objects. The student does not stop at a two-dimensional analysis, but approaches depth as an integral part of the process, a dimension that is often ignored.
The same logical procedure as a sculptor grappling with his creation. To a 3D printer, therefore, one does not send a text but a design, usually a modelled drawing of the object to be made. This process stimulates children to think and design in three dimensions. Even with the youngest children, highly engaging activities can be designed. Children draw objects, toys but also characters from a story, and the printer makes them. The characters are then placed inside the Greenscreenbox, the ideal medium for creating educational narratives.
Mixing these two educational tools channels different skills. The 3D printer trains the student in the rudiments of logical creation processes. The greenscreenbox develops digital literacy by teaching the student to process the learning material by means of greenscreen videos.
In essence, the students' approach to design through creative didactic tools is instrumental in learning different skills. For them, play will not only be fun, but a concrete means of learning a teaching process.

Greenscreenbox is a portable theatre using the green screen technique. A teaching aid that develops digital literacy and helps to process learning material by means of greenscreen video.
Students will learn ITC and media literacy skills in a fun and engaging way, also very suitable for conveying lessons to BES and DSA.
Watch the video and learn more about the features of Greenscreenbox.

Contrary to what one might think, there are 3D printers suitable for all ages. Some can even be used by primary school children. Which ones? X-MAKER!
This printer, which can print in biodegradable as well as ABS material, is extremely easy to use: just take it out of the box, plug it in, choose a pattern to print and wait for your wishes to take shape.
