Teaser Lessons
PROJECT 1 – CLOUD TYPES AND DISPLAY STANDS
This project enables kids to do more than design something on the computer. They get to take something they’ve drawn by hand and turn it into a 3D object. Then, as a bonus, they use their 3D-printed object to show what they know! It’s a great, un-scary way of getting kids to make in the classroom.
PROJECT 9 – ARCHIMEDES SCREW BONANZA
This projects brings an ancient invention to life using modern technology. While the project is definitely an investment in printing time and filament, the students’ final products make this lesson well worth the effort!
