It was so lovely to meet everyone. I didn’t catch everyone’s names and schools so I would like for everyone to reintroduce themselves.

@Monique was so wonderful to have you… you added depth to the workshop.
This is a great idea - to make sure all those that attended the Teach the Teachers Advanced Manufacturing Workshop can stay connected!
I hope everyone will follow suit…

Dynamite @timsteen! Welcome aboard!
So sorry, just reading this now. 
It was great to interact with everyone at the workshop and hear everyone’s ideas for implementing 3d printing in their classes.

Tanzania? Wow! What did you teach while you were there?
Welcome, Julie! Hope you enjoyed your summer!
Hi Julie!
I taught at an international school in Tanzania for 2 years. It is called Haven of Peace academy (or Hopac). They follow a Cambridge-based curriculum so it mirrors a lot of the English system. I taught high school courses in IT, including coding and office-based applications. I also taught a class a week for the K-8th grade which was fun but certainly not my specialty. If you wonder if it’s a challenge teaching tech classes in an area without reliable power, with slow internet and expensive equipment… Yes. I can’t even imagine what 3D printing would look like there but I bet it would mean lots of extruder cleaning, my new favorite hobby!
