Robo’s CEO, Ryan Legudi, says, “The promise of 3D printing in education has yet to be fulfilled. For teachers we have spoken to, it’s still complicated to incorporate 3D printing effectively into the classroom with the current offerings. With our Robo 3D printers combined with MyStemKits 240+ turn-key 3D printable lessons, professional development and training for educators, we know that we have the key that will give educators the opportunity to be successful with 3D printing in the classroom.”
MyStemKits has had huge success within the state of Florida (launch phase) achieving a 97% success rating from teachers implementing project-based learning with 3D printers. Robo will offer educational bundles that include their 3D printers, a filament supply, 1 year subscriptions to MyStemKits, and additional professional development and online learning.
Laron Walker, Founder of MyStemKits says, “MyStemKits was started with the intention of revolutionizing how 3D printers are used in the K-12 classroom. We have worked hard to make 3D printing plug-n-play, through an easy-to-use technical experience, backed by exceptional content and curriculum. I’m excited that the company is poised to reach its full potential as a part of the Robo family. Having an end-to-end solution for K-12 has always been a dream. Combining the world’s best 3D printing content library, along with best-in- breed 3D printers, will open the flood gates of opportunity for educators and students around the world.”
In closing, Braydon Moreno, Co-Founder of Robo goes on to say, “We all know the impact 3D printing can have for students in the classroom, it just needs to be easy to implement. If you go to MyStemKits.com, select your grade level, choose a lesson, click a file, print it to your Robo R2 directly from the platform without needing to adjust any settings — that’s magical. That’s the promise of 3D printing for teachers.”
