Lasers are incredibly versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of courses.

From smart boards to tablets, 3D printers to laser cutters, more and more schools are bringing hands-on, interactive technology to the classroom. Whether it is an industrial technology course or an art lab, schools and universities incorporating new technology in the classroom are engaging more students and creating active learners. Laser cutting/engraving systems are fast becoming one of the most in-demand tools to add to the classroom, or in some cases, build an entire curriculum around. Laser cutters are versatile, easy to use, and safe. Not to mention incredibly fun to use.
