About Me

Eric retrieving 3D printed face shields

What is more interesting than learning 3D printing? Yes, learning 3D printing from kids like me. I am a 11-year-old boy from the 5th grade in the Jackson Walnut Park School in Newton, MA. Well, I don't like to brag my achievements but I'd better to list my relevant credentials here for you to choose the right teacher: a math lover and 3D designer with National 1st Place in Math Kangaroo, MOEMS-E Gold Pin, AMC 8 Honor Roll, and 99% in medium level SSAT. In my free time, I'm also passionate about skiing and sailing. Now stuck at home, I understand how bored kids like me may feel. That's why I started offering free ZOOM lessons to fellow kiddos. While teaching kids 3D printing, I also hope to have more kids join our efforts in helping doctors and nurses fight coronavirus by 3D printing Personal Protective Equipment. We had run a successful fundraiser and we are now printing the 3D face shields. Email me at ericnzhang@gmail.com if you are interested in joining our Kids Print face shields to Protect medics (KPP) project. Together we are strong.
