New app brings 3D printing into primary school curriculumEscrito por Redacción TNI el 02/12/2014 a las 23:14:532056
 It started when game developer Roland Peddie was working in Scotland on video games, winning a BAFTA for his work on bestseller Crackdown at Realtime Worlds in 2007. During work on a following project, APB, he noticed that a lot of players spent as much time customising their character as actually playing the game.
Peddie brought that insight back to his hometown of Adelaide, South Australia and started working on apps that let the user customise and build their own things, whatever they were.
At the end of last year he teamed up with Jon Soong to make a prototype and commercialise it. Maker's Empire was born.
It's a simple, module-based app aimed at Primary School students, according to Soong, now the CEO of the company. The children draw outlines, drag shapes and stick bits together on an iPad to create a 3D model - and then they can make it real. |
