Engaging Students in Recreating a Sustainable Marine Ecosystem
Did you know that oceans absorb more than 25% of the CO2 emitted by human activities, while generating more than half of the oxygen we breathe? They indeed play a major role in stabilizing the Earth’s climate system… but that’s becoming a lot to take in. The more we degrade them, the less they can do to help.
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, educators have a unique opportunity to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. As STEM teachers, you play a crucial role in fostering a sense of curiosity and responsibility in your students. One innovative way to do this is by incorporating 3D software and 3D printing into your curriculum to recreate sustainable marine ecosystems. This approach not only enhances students’ technical skills but also deepens their understanding of marine biology and environmental conservation.

Inspiration and Challenges
As the Olympic Games kick off, we thought it would be interesting to celebrate achievements of all kinds by creating beautiful medals. Whether you’re participating in competitions or want to recognize someone’s talents or good behavior, medals are always appreciated as a meaningful token of recognition.
To guide you, here is a video showcasing how to design a nice medal.
