Scan-a-rama

Over 100 students and faculty are 3D scanned and printed as they learn about the history of innovation at Coney Island.

The Great Fredini's Scan-a-Rama 3000 made a visit to Meadowbrook in the spring of 2014. To a packed student audience, Meadowbrook Alum Fred Kahl presented his 3D scanning project at New York's Coney Island. Following in the long history of technological innovation at Coney Island, Fredini's project seeks to capture memories in 3D. Students learned of the unique American art form that Coney Island protects, while getting the chance to pose for Fredini's scanning machine. After a long day of scanning, over 100 figurines were left to be printed. One of Meadowbrook's middle school students helped in the 3D printing load, printing figurines on his home 3D printer. The enthusiasm towards innovation was clear; students saw first-hand how a Meadowbrook education can prepare students for careers not yet imagined.
