When districts standardize printing across all schools by using the Polar Cloud, the Technology Admin is a key decision maker and usually comes in to help make sure there's a successful implementation; importing students, connecting printers, and ensuring ongoing reliability.
Through our years of working with K-12 schools and Universities, we've uncovered 4 key challenges:
- Too much of the printing workload is on one person.
- Teachers do not know what to do with the 3D printers.
- Teachers were not trained on the printer software or found it difficult to use.
- Students do not feel like the printers are tools for their use.
The Polar Cloud used this feedback to create Job Requests, which involve others and distribute the workload.. to create STEAMtrax NGSS 3D Printing Curriculum Modules, to make a object repository and slicer that's easy for everyone, and share cloud access to the printers!
