Using laser technology tools in courses can be tricky due to limited space and complexity of use. We have developed lessons to help K-12 teachers bring FLUX desktop laser cutters into their classrooms. These resources make it easy to incorporate cutting-edge technology, making learning more accessible and courses more sophisticated!
The challenges of a laser cutter in the classroom
Courses using laser technology tools come with their fair share of challenges for both teachers and students. CNC machines and laser cutters, for example, take up a lot of space in the classroom and are often hard to move around. Plus, figuring out how to use them can be overwhelming, posing significant hurdles for educators and students. That's why these courses are usually only found in higher education institutions, while lower educational levels, like junior high schools, don't use laser tech as much in their curricula.
Recognizing the challenges faced by K-12 educators at various levels who are interested in integrating laser technology into their classrooms, but lack the necessary know-how, we have developed lessons for students of each educational grade. These resources are designed to guide lecturers in incorporating FLUX desktop laser cutters into their teaching. We believe this type of curriculum will assist lecturers in embracing technology and elevating the sophistication of their courses.
The role of FLUX laser cutters in K-12 classrooms
It is essential for educators to become more familiar with FLUX laser cutters and their potential applications in the classroom. We offer a comprehensive range of desktop laser cutters, with models varying in power from 30 W to 60 W and differing in workspace sizes. Educators can choose the most suitable FLUX laser cutter for their classroom based on the size of the space and the specific needs of their courses.
FLUX laser cutters have been utilized in a diverse array of courses depending on the subject matter and curriculum, such as STEAM courses, technology courses, fashion courses & labs, and architecture courses, among others. FLUX laser cutters and engravers also serve as valuable tools for lecturers in preparing teaching materials for various courses. The versatile application of FLUX laser cutters and engravers in the classroom aids lecturers in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enhancing creativity, encouraging peer collaboration, and leading to more engaged and effective educators.
