RapidMade supports nConnect, a non-profit organization that connects professionals and schools, to promote career planning and college preparation.
It's always great to get back into the classroom! On Friday, RapidMade's CEO Renee Eaton participated in nConnect's Speed Networking event at Skyview High School in Vancouver. Students especially enjoyed seeing all of the 3D printed objects she brought. And they loved hearing how additive manufacturing is changing the fields of medicine, aerospace, marketing and manufacturing - and how important STEM professionals are to the industry's growth and success.
These events are always a lot of fun for presenters and participants. Based on the questions asked, there were many highly motivated first year students.
Afterward, Renee had a chance to meet the school's Manufacturing faculty and see their bank of desktop 3D printers.
