What started as a dream for then 15-year-old Maggie Grout seven years ago became a reality as Thinking Huts, a non-profit she founded, began building and opening 3D printed schools in Madagascar. Thinking Huts is an international NGO that increases global access to education with innovative, humanitarian-driven technology solutions. Despite a global pandemic, Thinking Huts opened the world’s second 3D printed school earlier this year. The project named “Bougainvillea” took about 18 hours of total print time for the walls and about 12 days for the roof, door, and windows which were comprised of local materials.
