The YouthQuest Foundation has launched a special channel on YouTube to support teachers in our 3D printing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education project.
The YouthQuest Academy Channel is at www.youtube.com/user/YouthQuestAcademy.
The channel is a collection of instructional videos made by YouthQuest Training Director Tom Meeks for the teachers in the 3D printing classes we are sponsoring at the Capital Guardian and Freestate ChalleNGe Academies this fall.
As the project expands to other states next year, this video supplement to the curriculum will become even more important for keeping teachers on the same track, even if they’re hundreds of miles apart.
We’ve seen how our 3D printing classes help show at-risk teens how they can build a better future for themselves through creative thinking, teamwork and perseverance. We believe that is a valuable lesson for anyone. That’s why we’re making all YouthQuest Academy Channel videos available to the public, so teachers and students anywhere can start to explore the new world possibilities in 3D printing.
A couple of introductory videos are posted now and many more will be added soon. Stay tuned!
