DARPA to put 3-D printers in schools — from the Futurist Update November 2011
Excerpt:
The U.S. Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) plans to put 1,000 3-D printers (rapid fabrication devices) into high schools across the United States as a way to encourage American young people to go into engineering and particularly manufacturing.
The project is one of many investments that the agency will make over the next five years to help high schoolers build STEM skills.
