Main Idea
Students by using the SKETCHUP application will understand the basic principles of 3D Designing and Printing. They will see the 3D printing in action. They main goal is students to examine how to create slides from their designs and build 3D models by using a 3D software.

Learning Activities
At the beginning of the session students observe some pictures with ancient jars and they discuss with their teacher about jars’ technique and construction.
They will also watch a video created by their teacher and they will try to create 3D jars with the help of their tutor.
Afterwards a discussion takes place in class.
1.Is it possible to make real food with a 3d printer?
2.Is it possible to print human parts with these printers and help people with serious diseases?
3. Do you think that in the future it will be possible to build anything we imagine with a 3d printer?
