InkSmith is an education technology company based in Ontario, Canada, specializing in makerspace technologies and STEAM educational products for classrooms. Founded in 2016 by Jeremy Hedges, the company initially focused on selling 3D printing filament and Cubicon 3D printers to the Canadian hobbyist market. InkSmith is dedicated to enhancing the adoption of 21st-century technology and fostering digital skills in educational settings. The company designs and manufactures a variety of educational technologies, including 3D printers, robotics equipment, laser cutters, virtual reality products, and coding tools. One of their notable offerings is the Climate Action Kit, a curriculum-aligned product redesigned in 2023. InkSmith integrates these technologies into comprehensive solutions tailored for educators and educational institutions. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, InkSmith launched The Canadian Shield, producing millions of medical face shields and masks. After the pandemic, the company refocused on education, expanding its team and product range, and established Forward Education in 2023 to emphasize environmental science and climate action education.
