West Bengal Schools Showcase 3D Printing Innovation Event
Students from six schools in West Midnapore, a rural area in West Bengal, learned how to use 3D printers.
They made models and prototypes that they showed at a special event.
The event was organized by IIT Madras, a big university, and helped by a company called Vertiv Energy.
Teachers and experts from other universities and companies came to talk about science and jobs.
More than 1,000 people, including teachers and parents, visited the exhibition.
The program started in 2024 and is part of a plan to bring new technology to schools.
The students explained how they designed and printed their projects.
The event showed that even in remote areas, students can learn cutting‑edge skills.
It also hopes to inspire more schools to join the program.
Six West Midnapore government schools participated in a 3D‑printing program led by IIT Madras.
Over 200 students showcased 3D‑printed models at a four‑day exhibition in Moupal Deshpran Vidyapith.
The event, part of the Teach To Learn initiative, included lectures from IITs, universities, and industry leaders.
Vertiv Energy and Device Engineering Labs supported the program, aiming to expand to more schools.
The conference attracted more than 1,000 visitors, including teachers, administrators, and local residents.
