"A few days ago, I met Manuel Herrera at MORENet. He has an amazing maker space where students engage in creative thinking on a daily basis. It's a bastion of creativity and wonder and his passion for it is contagious.
However, as we talked about prototyping and design thinking, he mentioned something surprising.
"We have a 3D printer, but only a few students know how to use it for creative purposes. Most students download templates and print things out. There's not much actual creative thought that goes into it."
"So, what's the answer?" I asked.
"I think they need to start by making things by hand," he said."
