3D Printing Fun in the Library
Our students are absolutely loving the addition of two new 3D printers in the Library! They have been busy logging their printing ideas with our IT staff and are thoroughly enjoying watching the printers in action during lunchtime. It has quickly become a popular spot for curious minds and creative thinkers.
A huge thank you to our amazing IT Team for making this exciting new learning opportunity possible.
Yours in Reading
