The document describes the first implementation of the makeITreal after-school 3D printing project at the 56th Junior High School of Athens during the 2016-2017 school year. It involved 6 students aged 14-16 who actively participated in designing and printing 3D objects like geometrical solids and keychains using FreeCAD software and a 3D printer. The students presented their work in school and at festivals. The project engaged students in modern technology and they spent more time than planned designing and printing. Over 80 students now want to participate in the expanded project next year.

- 9. Observations Active participation of our students Making their 3D designs Printing their 3D designs producing physical objects from computer files
- 10. Observations Active participation of our students Making and printing their own designs It is amazing to see students in a Junior High School design and print in 3D!
- 11. Observations Active participation of our students Presenting their work in school Presenting their work in festivals
- 12. Program elements! Interesting scenarios that engage students actively in designing and printing their work Students deal with something modern, learn by doing things, take pride in the competence they have demonstrated, gain a vision of how things happening in this program can be relevant to their life, understand that ability and competence grow with effort, spend more hours than what was scheduled in the original plan, wanted to do more designing & printing activities.
- 14. Remarks/ Questions Remarks: The 6 students worked alone because we started the program during the 2nd semester and students had already enrolled in other programs and/or had arranged their after school time. After the first two printings three students came asking to participate in the program (they completed the Geometrical solids and the keychain scenarios) This school year more than 80 students want to take part in the project. We intend to limit the number in 26 students (23 from our 1st grade and 3 students who had already participated during the previous school year), two in each of 13 pc we have in our Computer Science and Robotics Laboratory. Questions: How to maximize the potential of 3D technology in the classrooms?

- 16. Drawing and Printing activities in interdisciplinary projects (as part of their school task, not as an add-on or sth extra) Students: discuss and draw in a paint program what they have to do (for sth difficult the drawings is given to them e.x. floor plan of o block of flats) construct the physical model (using recycled paper, wood, plastic caps) design in a software program and print their work in a 3D printer
- 17. Photos in order to make comparisons
- 19. Photos Following not only the principle of recycling everything but also trying new technologies
- 20. Photos waiting the ... baking of our house, after we have designed it in detail on a PC
- 21. Photos Rooms, balconies, stairs, terraces, etc.
- 22. Photos Characteristic details that make ... the difference Indoor and outdoor staircases and furniture
- 23. Photos / Comparisons Let's make a total comparison
- 24. Photos / Comparisons Classic technology ... VS ... Electronic technology
- 25. Photos / Comparisons more Classic technology ... VS ... Special Electronic technology
- 26. Photos / Comparisons Electronic technology ... VS ... Recycle technology
- 27. Conclusions 3D drawing and printing activities can potentially change students attitude to learning Activities, more flexible in time, help students keep pace with the more experienced classmates
