No idea if it's any good or not but worth a watch.

Now, that's a pretty clever development. What a great learning tool.

That'll go down well in secondary school science labs.

At first I thought that the introductory narrator was Vi Hart. It isn't, but since I really like Hart's animated videos, here's one that has a musical theme.

The technology is called "direct write": drawing circuits with conducting ink or offset lithography. We were looking into it ten years ago, and I designed some simple RF filters using them as an example of 'proof of principle', the ultimate intention being to cut down the weight of the electronics used in the aerospace and related industries. I left the company whilst the programme was still running, but I think it has since 'fizzled out'. It always was a crude technique and I saw little future in it.
However like 3D printing, it will develop and may become a useful technique in time.

Our Physics teacher was so taken by the idea that he's ordered a starter kit.

I wish we had been able to use something like that when I was at school! What a fantastic way to learn about electronics.
