Daegu Irum High School Student Lee Jun-seok Overcomes Developmental Disability to Obtain 3D Printer Technician Certification

Daegu Irum High School, a special school focused on vocational education that provides specialized education for students with developmental disabilities, announced on the 1st that student Lee Jun-seok (3rd year, Class 2, Production and Manufacturing Department) obtained the national certification of '3D Printer Operation Technician' with a perfect score in the practical evaluation of the first regular technician exam this year.

The 3D Printer Operation Technician certification includes written and practical tests. The practical test evaluates 3D modeling design skills, output program creation skills, and 3D printer utilization skills, making it a challenging process for students with developmental disabilities to access.

However, at Irum High School, the 3D Maker subject is included in the regular curriculum, and co-teaching education (special education teacher and 3D printer specialist instructor) is conducted to support students with developmental disabilities in developing professional capabilities in fields such as 3D printing.

Student Lee Jun-seok showed exceptional interest and concentration during the 3D Maker class and, beyond the class, challenged himself to obtain the national certification with the guidance teacher.

He built solid skills through long hours of practice and repetition during classes, after-school programs, and individual study during vacations with his teacher, resulting in a perfect score on the practical evaluation.

This achievement demonstrates a new possibility that students with developmental disabilities can become experts in the field of 3D printer operation and is expected to improve awareness of the 3D printer operation field.

Lee Jun-seok said, “It was difficult to prepare since it was a new field, but I am happy to have obtained a certification in an area I am interested in. Starting from this, I will work harder toward my dream of becoming a 3D printer expert.”
