A Visit to Lanier Middle School

Patrick Bishop teaches students to design fractals
GMU Math Makerlab graduate student Patrick Bishop and professor Evelyn Sander had a great time showing Lanier Middle School students how to create mathematical objects in OpenSCAD. We witnessed some rebellion done right when students went off script to create their own objects. While it was the last week of school, but they still showed incredible enthusiasm for 3D printing and design!  Thanks to Lanier and in particular Matt Bechtel and Rob Hornfeck for inviting us into the classroom!
