Printing in three dimensions might sound like magic. But at a pioneering primary school in Bury, pupils as young as seven are learning how to do it.
Companies across Greater Manchester are increasingly using 3D printing, which is why this skill is said to be 'critical' for the next generation. Rachel Ellison, who is the computing lead at St. Joseph and St. Bede R.C. Primary School, said that learning these skills at a young age could be life-changing.
Last year, she signed up for a free 3D printing course, fully funded by Greater Manchester's Skills for Growth programme. "It blew my mind," she recalled.
