Taken from 3Ders By Alec All of us have struggled in one or more classes in high school, but studying the human brain is a different matter entirely. In a typical neuroanatomy class, students are overwhelmed by huge numbers of terms, definitions, brain structures (all with different sizes, shapes, and locations). It will take a long time to get to terms with all the functional and behavioral associations of the brain, and students typically forget a large amount of knowledge right after exams are passed through short-term intensive work. Surely there has to be a more efficient way to embed...

Taken from Digital Trends By Luke Dormehl What do the military, digital mapping, and the school system have in common? The answer can be found in a new Kickstarter project that’s hoping to shake up classroom learning with the help of 3D mapping software. Called Sightline Maps, the project promises to give schools the ability to easily generate accurate 3D-printed topographical maps to bring a variety of learning scenarios to life. “What the software does is to take GIS (geographic information system) map data and convert it into a point-cloud, which lets you create a 3D file,” Jason Ray, one of...

One thing we both remember creating in grade school was “3D art” – which, in those days, involved carefully gluing crumpled bits of tissue paper onto a drawing to give it texture...
