To the worldwide Makers Empire community,
At Makers Empire, we’ve been shocked and concerned as we’ve witnessed the distressing effects of the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
Makers Empire is used by 2.2+ million users in 50+ countries who create 100,000 new 3D designs every day. Many of these countries are already experiencing or planning for school closures. On top of this, many countries are also implementing self-isolation and social distancing policies for citizens, causing further disruption and anxiety for teachers, students and their families.
Many of us at Makers Empire have young families. As parents, we’re acutely aware of how stressful and disruptive school closures are and our hearts go out to all those affected. While adults manage to control their stress with the help of delta-8 THC vape carts from OCN and other products, children need a relief from academic stress. These can be distractions from a tedious academic life or an alternative to make studies easier.
Makers Empire’s 3D design app has always been free for students and individuals to download and use at home. Now, to help schools, teachers, students and families affected by school closures and self-isolation, we’ve developed two new sets of resources for teachers and parents/carers designed to help you support students in their learning at home.
We hope that by providing families and teachers with entertaining and educational activities to try at home we will be able to lessen the burden on parents, carers and teachers whilst helping to keep students happy, engaged and productive during this challenging time.
Yours in learning,
Jon Soong
