Cyant Founder Barbara Hanna had the opportunity to talk to ‪Rae Hughart‬ & ‪Jeff Gargas‬ from ‪TeachBetter on important topics at Cyant, ranging from creativity, the intersection of disciplines, connecting technology & arts, ‪3Dprinting‬, ‪education‬, and inspiring kids, ‪to sustainability, our STEAM workshops‬ & how our app Cyant’s Lab™ helps educators in and out of the classroom! She even had a chance to discuss lessons learnt from running!

The resulting discussion can be heard in Episode 143 of the TeachBetter Podcast. We could not be more thrilled for the episode to be out and for the interaction with the TeachBetter team who is dedicated to bringing the best resources, tips and tools to Educators across the country and beyond!

The first workshop will take place on July 27th, 10:00am-12:00pm, and focus on plants. Plants have long been a great and important source of inspiration and a resource across many fields, and there are already quite a few connections with 3D printing... So we are really looking forward to meeting with new young cyantists to discuss technology, sustainability, plants and a small 3D printed project.

The second workshop will take place on August 17th, 10:00am - 12:00pm focus on Summer Fruits! Young cyantists will learn about the technology, sustainability aspects, summer fruits and create a small 3D printed design which they will be able to take home too!

If you are in NYC, make sure to bring your kiddos and join us!


New Ruler Tool In Cyant's Lab™!

Untitled design(43).png

A ruler is part of an engineer’s, a school kid’s, a designer‘s and an artist ‘s toolkit, even a 3D one! So we’ve added a new ruler tool to our iPad app Cyant’s Lab to make it easier for Cyantists of all ages to 3D draw straight lines in the app digitally.

Of course you can still use a physical ruler and an apple pencil too if you have one. :)

Digital or physical, you choose! What will you create? :)
