About Me:
Lizabeth Arum, an artist, tinkerer and educator graduated from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) in 1999, and worked as a computer science teacher in a K-12 school in Brooklyn, NY, USA for 14 years, beginning in 2002. In 2007 she created her school's Physical Computing program for 12-18 year olds, and two years later, joined NYC Resistor, a hacker collective in Brooklyn, NY where MakerBot, the first popular Desktop 3D printer was conceived. In addition to teaching full time at Saint Ann’s, in 2011 Arum became MakerBot's Education Coordinator. Arum has worked for Ultimaker since 2016 and helped launch the Ultimaker Pioneer Program, an initiative to help North American educators integrate 3D printing into their K-12 classrooms, college courses, makerspaces, and libraries. The program facilitates collaboration between educators, and encourages Pioneers to share information about software, hardware, techniques and curriculum with a larger audience, both online and in person. In addition to the Pioneer Program, she also created and maintains the education landing page for Ultimaker.com: https://ultimaker.com/en/education.
