Introduction of STEAM education with the use of 3D technologies: modelling, scanning and printing

摘要

Nothing in the world happens without innovations: new ideas, new products, and new solutions of the existing problems. Without science, technologies, engineering and STEM there will be no innovations. Development of STEM education has fundamental importance for development of modern information society. Even today in Ukraine the process of introduction of STEM and STEAM in education gains the increasing value. Training courses dealing with questions of Internet of things, built-in systems and other directions of modern engineering take root in higher education institutions. An example of such training course is training of students of various specialties of 3D printing technology and formation of skills of the use of these technologies for the creation of own innovative projects within their professional competences. Possibilities of the use of 3D printing in educational activity are presented in the article. The analysis of experience of STEM and STEAM education in other countries is carried out.
