3-D printed models
Trying to visualize molecular processes for students can be very challenging. Neil Raymond and I decided to try 3-D printed objects to use in the classroom to teach these concepts in Biology. I used the database thingiverse to search for models, and Neil designed and printed his own working sarcomere through tinkercad. After using the models in class, I discovered that they can be powerful tools to aid in conceptualizing and visualizing processes, especially at the molecular level. The 3-D printing is a compliment to STEM curriculum and promotes problem solving skill
