As a Grand Challenges facilitator for the 3D printing enquiry group associated with the Digital Society Challenge, I was employed to organise and plan a full-time week-long course in which I worked with a small group of undergraduate students to facilitate their exploration and production of an output on the topic of 3D printing. In so doing, I organised a range of activities, including visiting speakers from Open Bionics, the Royal Memorial Albert Museum, Fab Lab Devon, the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, the Centre for Fine Art Research, and a series of other local 3D printing representatives. The students involved were from a range of disciplines, and many of them new to the area of 3D printing, so the week also included planning a range of introductory sessions to the topic, as well as facilitating brainstorming sessions, and providing guidance of the group's ideas to aid their creation of an output within the short time period. As their output, the group created and presented a sharable prezi presentation to both the digital society cohort (approximately 55 students), and to all the other challenge students in the showcase at the end of the week.
