What do a prop gun and a fidget spinner have in common? They can both be 3D printed! In Theatrical 3D Printing & Props, Assistant Professor Shana Joslyn teaches students the ins and outs of 3D printing, and they use it to create props inspired by their favorite shows and movies. To demonstrate how these technological skills apply to many fields, the class connects with McDaniel's Student Accessibility and Support Services office to create accessibility items for the campus community.
