BoroBot is excited to *finally* announce a pilot Adult 3d printing workshop. This class is for adults aged 22+, and will run June 21st and June 22nd, 6-7p each day. No prior experience necessary, but basic PC/Windows knowledge is required.
The cost is: Middleboro Resident $95, Non-resident $105, Veteran $75, Senior Citizen $75.
This class will give you the ability to design useful tools and objects around the home/workplace, and also to prototype new inventions.
Attendees will design a final project and will pick up the finished print at BoroBot. In addition, BoroBot staff can help interested attendees to pick out a 3d printer that meets their needs for at-home printing following the class if they are interested.
This adult class and it's price tag is a piece of the strategy that we have to keep kids classes free but also to grow our nonprofit makerspace to provide more and better services to the community that willed us into existence. Thank you and hope to see you there!

In Person 3D Printing Classes Are Back!

7/21/2021

0 Comments

 
)Classes are back! We are proud to announce our ‘Intro to 3D Printing' Class will be in person! In this class, students will get to interact with our instructors, and thanks to OctoPrint technology purchased with our 2020 Mass Development grant, will get to watch their designs print in real-time via webcam after the class is over.

The next class dates will be Tuesday 8/10, Wednesday 8/11, Thursday 8/12. The classes will run from 6pm-7pm and will be located in downtown Middleboro at 11 Center Street.

The classes also build off one another, so the student will need to be present for all three classes. Laptops will be provided.

It is a great learning opportunity to gain exposure to this technology even if the student doesn’t have CAD or 3D printing experience. 

Your child will be taught by BoroBot instructors who are makers themselves and have experience with this technology. They will work with each student to make sure they are learning and having fun!

Students will leave with experience and excitement to learn and do more. 

Please be sure to fill out the form by Thursday 8/5 (11:59 pm) (forms.gle/kfHYKuG1qXT4aQ4j9) and be sure to add info@borobot.org to your trusted email senders, as this is the primary way we will communicate about signups and enrollment. 

Thank you for your continued support!

As a reminder, this class is *free* for Middleboro kids ages 10-18. We are able to provide this class free of charge because of all the awesome support we have received from the Middleboro community!

As always, our virtual 3D printing class is designed to not only encourage brand new learners, but also can be beneficial for those with some 3D printing or CAD experience. The class is 3 days and the classes build off one another so it is important to be able to attend all 3. Hope to see you there!

Ear Savers!

Hi everyone!

As you may know, BoroBot donated 1050 face shields to first responders, healthcare workers and medical facilities. Now, as we move back to our mission of teaching, we have one last project to help those who are on the front lines: ear savers! Thanks to Brandon Beller we have a file we would like to share that you can print at home! Brandon helped us out tremendously when we were working on a design for the face shields, and we wouldn't have been able to help as quickly as we did without him.

We have printed and are distributing 1000 of these as we speak; and please keep an eye out for our upcoming *virtual* classes!

If you have a 3D printer at home, please use the file below to print your own ear savers!
