How will geography affect your life？For some children around the world，the environment they grow up in has a huge effect on their lives.This is the case in Madagascar，an island country in Africa，where a 3 D-printed school is now being built.

Maggie then drew a design for the school.She thought about what the people might need and where they worked best.
Next，Maggie found an architect and 3 D printing company for the job.To make it environmentally friendly，they use a special 3 D printer to build the school.It meant up to 50 percent less concrete（混凝土） used and less CO2.Plus，the school could be completed in just a week.They also used local materials to build the doors，windows and roof.
What's more，Thinking Huts trained local workers to use a 3 D printer so that they could build more schools on their own in the future.Maggie plans to print more new schools in other parts of Madagascar because one in five children don't have the chance to attend primary school there.
