3 D Printing - How it works and is impacting everyday life

Ben Ropp is a Technology Trainer Librarian at Wichita Public Library, where he has worked for 15 years.  He moved to Wichita in 2008 for that job, from Albany, NY, where he got his Master's degree in Information Science at the University at Albany (part of the State University of New York system, or SUNY).  He grew up in Memphis, TN, and Worcester, NY, then went to the University of Chicago where he studied music and landed in Wichita in 2008 after settling into library science for a career in his 30s.  One of eight full-time technology trainers at the Advanced Learning Library, Ben teaches a variety of technology classes at the library, including Excel, 3D Printing, and Tinkercad, which is a user-friendly, web-based 3D modeling program.  Over the last ten years, he helped develop the Wichita Public Library's popular "Book a Librarian" program, which offers free one-on-one tech assistance by appointment with a technology trainer.

REPRESENTING YOUR
COMMUNITY’S PROFESSIONS
Taken from rotary.org
In Rotary, members’ classifications refer to their occupations, professional expertise, and training. Rotary clubs aim to include members from a number of classifications because bringing together professionals
from different fields and industries increases a club’s capacity to serve its community as well as giving its members an opportunity to learn more about others in the community. To maximize your impact, strive for professional diversity that represents the professions held in your
community.
