Five primary schools from across Ireland have emerged as winners of ‘Manufacturing a Healthy Future,’ a 3D printing design challenge which aims to foster STEM skills in classrooms.
MedTech company Stryker has run the primary school programme since 2021, in conjunction with I-Form Research Ireland Centre for Advanced Manufacturing, equipping teachers with 3D printing skills and tools to introduce manufacturing technology in classrooms.
