Participants worked either individually or in teams on a project of their
own choosing. Instead of
providing a formal slate of
workshops, we opted for a
modified unconference
model, in which workshops of
interest to participants were
proposed and developed “on
the fly” as needed.
The projects were as varied as
the participant population
and featured the effective use
of the NXT Brick, Arduino,
Makey Makey, and Raspberry
Pi, with project construction
facilitated by the use of the
3D Printer, CNC Milling
Machine, and Epilog Laser
Cutter.
D3 was attended by over eighty participants worldwide. They had the
opportunity to work with an internationally recognized team of makers
and designers who served
as mentors for the
workshop. To quote one
participant, “ I have never
been so challenged in my
teaching career but I’ve
also never been so
inspired to collaborate.
D3 has truly changed the
way I look at my British
Literature curriculum.”
