The 3D – project Comenius : a cooperation between European schools.

1. The 3D – project Comenius: a cooperationbetweenEuropean schools.

2. What is Comenius? Vision • Globalisation expands boundaries, broadening our horizons and making our world smaller. International cooperation, the Internet and travel make personal and business relationships across borders increasingly common. A young person graduating from secondary school at this moment has a good chance of studying, working or living in an international environment. Pupils who come into contact with the international and intercultural community at a young age through internationalisation at school have a broader perspective and better chances on the international job market. Mission • Internationalisation prepares pupils to take their part in the international community, promotes teachers’ professional development and enriches the school curriculum. Through its role as the Dutch knowledge centre for internationalisation in primary and secondary education and teacher training, the European Platform contributes to increasing the quality of Dutch education through internationalisation. Ambition • Our goal is that all pupils in primary and secondary education receive a foundation based on internationalisation, in order to inspire and prepare them to study, work and live in an international environment. In addition, the European Platform provides support to schools wanting to establish internationalisation as an extra distinguishing aspect of their school. The European Platform also encourages the internationalisation of teacher training institutions for primary and secondary education in the Netherlands. • Comenius will be named Erasmus in the future.

3. 3D-project • The original ambitions of the project: • Interaction between schools. • Sustainability. • 3D technology and thinking (not just printing!). • How 3D technology can be integrated into the everyday curriculum. • Learning about culture. • To carry on with the things that have been learnt after the project ends. What makes a good Comenius project: • The project should have a measurable impact on the school. • Each partner school must have an input into the project. • All partners must communicate with each other (in between mobility meetings too!). • The project should be put into the curriculum somehow. • The project should reach a wider audience – dissemination is key! Media, other schools, parents, local community, open evenings, student exchanges etc. Tell everyone! Show them what we are doing now and later they can get more involved. • Importantly, enjoy the project and be enthusiastic about it!

5. What’s 3D printing ? • Childrenlearning to think 2D to 3D. • Childrenlearn to workwithvarious computer software. • Doodle (age 3-6 year) • Tinkercad (age 7-18) • Blender (10-18) • Childrenlearnotherchildren to learn thinking 3D and to workwith the printer. • Childrenlearnadults to think and to work 3D. • 3D printer and materials, recycling plastic, sustainability.

7. Whatdid we do ? • Sunday: we had diner at 19.00 and afterthat we trainedfor the presentation of Monday. • Monday: Presentation of ourexperiences and the teacher manualonanE-reader. • Thursday: Discussion of the expectations of the goals and different views. • Wednesday: the next meeting(s), projects and the final goals we have in June 2015 in Leeuwarden.

9. What are we going to do? • We need to write reports, dairies of ourlessons and experiences. • We/ ourpupilsneed to make contact withother schools and exchange theirideas of designs. • Sharingourexperiences and keep spreading the word. • Involveourcolleagues, implementthis project into school. • Wherecan we put it in our curriculum? • What is the value of this project for the community of Vlieland (ITGWO-Province-leading school forEurope)

10. 3D and Sustainability

11. The future is whereourpupilswilllife and work The beach of Vlieland

12. Sustainability • 3D-printing is more thanjust a printer • Plastic island and 3D- printing • We must learnourchildren to live in a betterworld and so we need to recycle. • The “good”example, we chose to drive bycarinstead of flying. • This project • How to continue after 2015? • Ourposition as leading school. • What is ourchance to spread the word?

13. Trends and future of 3D • 3D technology in the field • Innovation, building houses, the moon • Recycling • Sharingideas • Dare to thinkdifferently
