Dremel has selected 10 K-12 educators as Dremel Idea Builder Ambassadors for the 2016-17 school year.
The
ambassadors were selected from a pool of applicants across the United
States. According to information from Dremel, they have a variety of

explanations of their designing and building process, on Dremel's
social media channels.
