Check-It-Out @ ATSM Library Issue 12, 2017

An update for the ATSM Library activities and additions

3D printer contest

A call for entries!
 

    Fascinated by the 3D printer? Have a great idea for a model?  Now is your chance to get it printed and put it to use!  The library is holding a 3D printer contest, with cash prizes.  Simply create a model and come up with a way it could be used in healthcare education.  Models will be judged on innovation, creativity or originality, impact on learning, and ability to meet their

learning objectives.  The top three 3D models from each campus will be awarded: 1st

place $250, 2nd place $150, and 3rd place $100.  Group winners must split the prize among themselves. Each contestant  or group must submit a written proposal and an STL file for the library to print, by 2/14/2017.  Prizes will be awarded  5/02/2017.
 

 

For more information on our 3D printer, check out our guide.  The Pre-Made 3D models tab has websites that offer pre-made model designs.  Have additional questions?  Email Adrienne Brodie (abrodie@atsu.edu) for Mesa and Debra Loguda-Summers (dsummers@atsu.edu) for Kirksville.
