As you may know, LulzBot is based in Northern Colorado; as you may or may not know, Northern Colorado is a hotbed of technical and intellectual activity! Through this excellent community, we were fortunate enough to meet Heidi Olinger, the driving force behind a local organization called Pretty Brainy.
Heidi spends her time designing lesson plans for young women, ages 10 to 18, that will help them not only acquire technical skills and know-how. But she doesn't stop there! The technical lesson is integrated into a design course, where the full process of creating a piece of fashion or jewelry is explored - from idea to reality - and then produced on a 3D printer. We were proud to have been featured alongside Heidi when she was recently featured in InnovatioNews and we look forward to the wonderful projects she'll be undertaking in the future.
