How will geography affect your life? For some children around the world, the environment they grow up in has a huge effect on their lives. This is the case in Madagascar, an island country in Africa, where a 3D-printed school is now being built. Maggie Grout was just 15 years old when she set up a non-profit organization-Thinking Huts (小屋). Now 22, she is raising money to build a series of 3D-printed schools powered by solar energy. She led the whole process from start to finish, working with university professors. They chose Madagascar because it needs more schools. Many children in that country don’t have the chance to get an education. Besides, it has a lot of sunshine, which can be made into energy to power things. Maggie then drew a design for the school. She thought about what the people might need and where they worked best. Next, Maggie found an architect and a 3D printing company for the job. To make it environmentally friendly, they use a special 3D printer to build the school. It meant up to 50 percent less concrete (混凝土) used and less CO2. Plus, the school could be completed in just a week. They also used local materials to build the doors, windows and roof. What’s more, Thinking Huts trained local workers to use a 3D printer so that they could build more schools on their own in the future. Maggie plans to print more new schools in other parts of Madagascar because one in five children don’t have the chance to attend primary school there. So far, Grout’s charity has already raised $125,000. “It’s not so bad to me! Of course, we need more.” Maggie told Springwise website. 53. When did Maggie Grout set up Thinking Huts? ___________________________________________ 54. Thinking Huts trained local workers to use a 3D printer, didn’t it? ___________________________________________ 55.

How will geography affect your life? For some children around the world, the environment they grow up in has a huge effect on their lives. This is the case in Madagascar, an island country in Africa, where a 3D-printed school is now being built. Maggie Grout was just 15 years old when she set up a non-profit organization-Thinking Huts (小屋). Now 22, she is raising money to build a series of 3D-printed schools powered by solar energy. She led the whole process from start to finish, working with university professors. They chose Madagascar because it needs more schools. Many children in that country don’t have the chance to get an education. Besides, it has a lot of sunshine, which can be made into energy to power things. Maggie then drew a design for the school. She thought about what the people might need and where they worked best. Next, Maggie found an architect and a 3D printing company for the job. To make it environmentally friendly, they use a special 3D printer to build the school. It meant up to 50 percent less concrete (混凝土) used and less CO2. Plus, the school could be completed in just a week. They also used local materials to build the doors, windows and roof. What’s more, Thinking Huts trained local workers to use a 3D printer so that they could build more schools on their own in the future. Maggie plans to print more new schools in other parts of Madagascar because one in five children don’t have the chance to attend primary school there. So far, Grout’s charity has already raised $125,000. “It’s not so bad to me! Of course, we need more.” Maggie told Springwise website. 53.
