Education
Contents
Site Requirements
Site requirements are minimal. A computer lab is quite suitable.
Fabrication Requirements
Setting aside the various types of RepStraps, a RepRap will require soldering of electrical components and cutting up of lengths of 8 MM steel rod. (Along with printing the parts of the RepRap.)
Assembly can take place in a class room.
Pedagogical Goals
RepRaps is a highly interdisciplinary project and offers educational opportunities in Computer Science, Electrical and Mecanical Engineering, and Materials Science, among others. One can learn by using a RepRap, building a RepRap, or by contributing to the RepRap project.
By using a RepRap, students will learn x, y, z.
Integration with other Programs
Information about science clubs, robot clubs, and computer clubs building RepRaps.
Also, how will RepRap integrate with technology-based learning programs like FIRST Robotics Competition and so on.
