The report will explore and research schools which already implemented 3D printing technology in their educational process. It will be described how it was developed and implemented in specific programs of educational institutions. Examples of academic disciplines where a 3D printer is used as an additional learning aid will be considered. As a consequence, I will derive results from the benefits of such type of learning aids.

Forest fires are readily available, but data is not. We present our abstract mathematical model of a forest fire in Bulgaria, without any real-world data. Our main thesis is that it looks realistic. Our calibration techniques are limited to integer values, with a hint of real numbers. Our visualization technique is fixed function pipeline OpenGL implementation, but it does the job. Our programmer staff is limited to two people, both experts in their fields, that managed to make two distinct software products, that have as a base the same solid mathematical algorithm.

The heart rate is individual for each person and it is influenced by various factors that lead to its increase or decrease. Good cardiac function is a prerequisite for a healthy life, and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a powerful tool for assessing the autonomic nervous system (ANS), in which the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems interact to regulate cardiac function of the vascular system. A high HRV is associated with a good state of health, while a low HRV is associated not only with pathological conditions in the activity of the cardiovascular system, but also with a number of other factors, such as: overweight, type 2 diabetes, stress and others. Tracking HRV over time and matching segments of data related to specific activities or life events can provide unique information about a person's physical and psychological health. On the basis of the obtained results, it can be concluded that the indices of HRV can be used as non-specific indicators of the impact of factors of a different nature on the human body.
