Curriculum Development Opportunity for STEM/STEAM Teachers Interested in 3D Printing

[Renee Deljon]

Greetings, all,

I'm a project manager working with an education company Bosch/Dremel hired, O’Donnell Learn, to develop 20 STEM/STEAM lessons that will be offered as part of Dremel's Dream Builder curriculum for its Idea Builder 3D printers. Mark Barnett suggested I join this group so that I can post a work-for-hire opportunity for STEM/STEAM teachers. This is that posting! In short, I'm on a quest to find creative primary, middle, and secondary school teachers who are innovating in the area of using 3D printers with their students.

A few other preliminary notes:

• ·         We are focusing on project-based learning with an emphasis on 21^st Century skills (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication).
  
• ·         We will be developing 20 lesson plans (five for grades 3 – 5; ten for grades 6 – 8; and five for grades 9 – 12)—multiple teachers will be hired, likely at least three, one for each grade cluster.
  
• ·         The project is starting now and is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.
  
• ·         The pay is per lesson and includes the full development process, from idea to delivery of final drafts and a sample .stl file. It also includes a first-pass at aligning each lesson with CCSS and NGSS.
  
• ·         Bosch will supply loaner printers and the preferred software is Autodesk’s Tinkercad and 123D, but the lessons should be essentially design software-agnostic.
  
• ·         Your having curriculum development experience would be a huge plus--J.

Thanks for reading this post; please let me know if you’re interested!
