[EDIT] More devBlog info…
Recently had an event at a library not too long ago where I presented MageWorks with a focus on the staff crafting workshop/watermill area. Over the course of about 3 hours or so, 11 students had the chance to sign up and play MageWorks to craft their staff and print in the library’s “Exploration Room” (Carroll County Public Library, Maryland). Was a really fun event and the students created/3d printed some pretty cool stuff!
