3D printing technology is now more accessible and affordable than ever before. Great for art or engineering students, the Tiertime UP Mini 3D Printer is as easy to use as a traditional inkjet. The printer''s best resolution at 0.2 mm gives great details at a great speed. The enclosed design protects children from hot parts. The UP software allows users to start their 3D printing adventures immediately.
Having a personal printer is an affordable luxury or a cheap necessity. For about $50, a student can have his/her own Canon PIXMA MX492 compact printer right in the dorm, which can print, scan, fax, all without wires and cables (except the power cable).
Why run the risk of losing that term paper you spent weeks writing? Back it up. The Buffalo Mini Station 1TB does just that with enough storage space to store all your schoolwork, as well as your entire collection of music you''ll want handy.
The Internet is a scary place. When it becomes a mandatory part of your school life, you need to be prepared for those bad things.

The Samsung Galaxy S 6 is perfect for post secondary students to keep connected and balance a busy schedule. The slim and lightweight, all-metal body and glass design make a bold statement, while the lightning-fast Samsung Exynos 7420 Octa-core 64-bit processor delivers the most power and speed we''ve ever put in a smartphone.
Snap and save school memories and selfies with the 5MP front-facing camera and a wide-angle lens, allowing you to capture more of the background and all of your friends. And if you double tap the home key, it quick launches from any screen. The ultra-responsive 16MP rear-facing camera with built-in Optical Image Stabilization and Auto HDR will help you take great shots anywhere, every time.
Equipped with a 2550 mAh Fast Charging battery, Samsung''s exclusive Ultra Power Saving Mode and built-in wireless charging capabilities, the Galaxy S 6 keeps you connected to the things you love.

Give up the cords to listen to music, play games and take calls on the go. These noise isolation earbuds may be small, but pack an impressive sound. The custom eargels are so light and comfortable you''ll forget they are there. With up to four hours of talk time and 144 hours of standby on a single charge, these earbuds will keep pace with the average student''s busy day.
Nearly every student (from grade one to post-secondary) requires a portable file storage device to save assignments, share files or download notes. The Transcend 8G Flash Drive runs at the USB 3.0 speed and is so affordable that a student can have one for each course.
