The programme focuses on how to design the objects that are printed in 3D, the opportunities and challenges that 3D printing provides, and how it contributes to more sustainable production,\u201d says \u00c5ben Virksomhed. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the programme, pupils visit a company that uses 3D printing as part of its daily production, e.g., for manufacturing prototypes or finished products. During the visit, pupils will be presented with a design challenge, which they must continue working on back at school. Pupils must come up with their own proposal for a 3D design for the company that they believe can solve the challenge the company has set them.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About \u00c5ben Virksomhed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Confederation of Danish Employers (DA) has established \u00c5ben Virksomhed to encourage more children and young people to take an interest in science, technology, IT and mathematics. \u00c5ben Virksomhed was created to build bridges between teaching in schools and companies in the business community. In \u00c5ben Virksomhed, school classes are matched with a company\u2014and the teaching takes place first at school, then at a company, and back at school again. In collaboration with skilled teachers, \u00c5ben Virksomhed develops free teaching materials for all year groups\u2014from Year 1 all the way up to 3.g\u2014in all science and technical subjects.   <\/p>\n<p>\u00c5ben Virksomhed aims to inspire more children and young people to choose a vocational education or a higher education programme within the technological or scientific field.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently more than 600 Danish companies ready to open their doors to Danish school pupils.<\/p>\n<p>If you, as a company, would also like a visit, you can write to us at <a href=\"mailto:Info@am-hub.dk\">Info@am-hub.dk<\/a> or to \u00c5ben Virksomhed here:<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aabenvirksomhed.dk\/til-virksomheder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/aabenvirksomhed.dk\/til-virksomheder\/<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March, 18 Year 6 pupils visited Prototal Damvig in Taastrup to learn more about 3D printing technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","hentry","category-news","post_format-post-format-image"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
