To fix the broken relationship between the Base Library and middle school students, Liz Gershon used the lessons learned in her courses and a 3D printer to build community. She began with laying the foundation by learning the students' names, showing them movies, and modeling positive interactions for other staff. To build on that goodwill, Liz created a collaborative class for the students to learn TinkerCad and print those creations on the 3D printer.
