Enhancing Education in The Gambia with 3D Printed Teaching Aids

Make3D and whatt.io in The Gambia

Make3D Company Limited is at the forefront of utilizing 3D printing technology to improve teaching resources in The Gambia. This collaboration with whatt.io is not just about bringing new tools into the classroom; it’s about creating accessible, relevant, and engaging educational materials.

Closing the Educational Resource Gap

In The Gambia, the scarcity of visual teaching aids limits educational delivery. Students often rely on verbal lessons or the few illustrations available in textbooks, which are particularly rare in rural settings. Traditional visual aids, while helpful, are not durable and require significant effort to produce.

3D Printed Educational Tools: A Practical Solution

Make3D’s approach introduces locally produced, customized educational tools through 3D printing. This method supports the creation of everything from detailed maps to scientific models, directly addressing the need for durable and relevant educational materials.

Empowered Learning with whatt.io

Our partnership enhances these 3D printed tools by integrating them with whatt.io’s Digital Product Passports. This feature provides immediate access to supplementary educational content and insights into the tools’ design and production, fostering a more interactive learning environment.

Supporting STEM and Beyond

Make3D is committed to promoting education, especially in STEM fields, through workshops and internships that offer practical experiences with 3D printing and digital technologies. These initiatives are designed to inspire and educate students of all ages, with a particular focus on encouraging girls to explore STEM careers.

A Step Forward in Educational Resources

This collaboration between Make3D and whatt.io represents a significant step in enhancing educational resources in The Gambia. By combining innovative 3D printing with digital technology, we're not only improving how educational content is accessed but also how it's experienced by students and teachers alike.
