Are you interested in knowing more about the basics of 3D Printing?  Perhaps you have wondered about the ways in which your teaching (or your research) might be augmented or changed by incorporating 3D Printing techniques?  If so, please join us for this interactive, hands-on boot camp led by Ann Anderson and John Rieffel (Union College).  One of our goals for the event is to reach across the disciplines in order to integrate 3D printing into the humanities and social sciences.  During this 90-minute event, we will provide a very brief introduction to 3D Printing, engage in a conversation together about the possible ways in which 3D Printing might help us to cross and/or bridge divisional or departmental divides in research and teaching, and actually print out during the event a 3D model, based on audience interests, questions, and ideas.

Come experience a real world example of how a collaboration between Music and Electrical Engineering provides an interdisciplinary experience for students.  Participate in singing and recording a well-known folk melody with Union’s Camerata Singers and a music history class in several locations on campus and then come back to listen and analyze those sound recordings with students taking a course in digital signal processing.  Participants will leave with an understanding of how these two disciplines can be integrated to provide students experiences from two very different perspectives.
