Thirty-five schools, selected as winners through public voting, receive two Dremel Idea Builder 3D20 printers and filament.

As demand for real-world applications of STEM education rises, schools districts must evaluate how to meet modern learning needs within budget constraints. Dremel, the manufacturer of tools for life and learning, announces the schools selected to win two Dremel Idea Builder 3D printers and filament. Chosen through public voting, the winning designs reflect the creativity and ingenuity of 3D-printed solutions that give back to schools and communities.

Educators with varying levels of experience using 3D printing technology were invited to submit their classrooms model, sketch or CAD design of a 3D object and accompanying description detailing how the "print" will make a positive impact. Submitted ideas were then subject to a one-week period of daily public voting, with total votes surpassing 6,000.
"Were excited to make 3D printing technology a part of our school-wide STEAM initiative," said David Remillard, comprehensive technology education teacher at Hampstead Middle School in New Hampshire, a winning school in the #LearnMakeGive contest. "Dremels commitment to advancing education will support our students as they learn, make and give back to their community."
