What It's About
An update on a project that helps kids with STEM learning, featuring a major pivot due to COVID-19.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1447
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from something quite different: a pediatrician who starts an educational product brand built on 3D printing with cardboard. It’s a fascinating project to begin with—it’s all about helping kids with STEM learning through hands-on materials—and also a family business that she operates with her kids. Of particular relevance to this point in time is her story of adjusting to COVID life. 3DuxDesign has had to completely pivot their approach since before they were trying to work mostly with school systems, and now with remote learning they’re trying to reach more parents directly.
