AMT donates 3-D printer to Ohio high school STEM program

To celebrate Manufacturing Day, an annual event during which North American manufacturers open their doors to showcase the potential of modern manufacturing and foster interest in manufacturing careers, AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, McLean, Va., donated a 3-D printer to Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School, Broadview Heights, Ohio, to support an interdisciplinary STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program.

To apply for the printer, the school had to provide a statement of need explaining it was starting a STEM program or describe the program already in place. It also had to identify specific projects that would keep the machine in use throughout the school year and fund the materials demand for projects. Finally, the school was asked to describe specific outcomes for students across departments.
