MakerBot

MakerBot is a 3D printing system which is capable of creating tangible, 3-dimensional objects. Catholic Memorial is planning on getting one in the next year. This device looks pretty cool to me. It can be used in engineering and physics classes during lab studies. It might also be used by something like a robotics club. However, although the MakerBot does look very cool, I do not think it is entirely needed at Catholic Memorial. We have bigger issues to put money toward. For instance, we should work on getting the Wifi fixed before anything else. Also, our computers are not up to par with other schools, so these need work as well. In conclusion, although MakerBot does have its fair share of benefits and educational value, Catholic Memorial simply does not have the time or money to invest in such a device.
