Maggie Grout, a 23-year-old entrepreneur, is using 3D printers to create affordable school campuses in rural Madagascar. It currently costs $40,000 and 18 hours to build a "Thinking Hut," and Grout hopes to lower the cost further before handing the project over to local professionals. The first completed campus is called the "Honeycomb," and Grout worked with local people to install traditional windows and doors, as well as partnering with the Madagascar Ministry of Education to bring in teachers. Her goal is to establish Thinking Huts in many different countries.
