3D Printed: School Holidays in New Zealand

We have a two week break currently in New Zealand we have a number of exciting projects coming up here for our students.  First and foremost next term we have our 2025 Market Day.  This is slightly different from our previous versions, this year the students have created Kickstarter inspired videos for each of their products, members of the community etc.  You can click on our School website and then follow the different Kickstarter Links from the main labels at the top of the page.    We currently have four of our students project videos uploaded, with an additional three to come once the school holidays are completed.

As shown left students have continued to look at experimenting with different examples and looking for personalisation and innovation projects.

We have allowed students to create a range of projects that meet this brief, including adapting examples that they have been able to locate (such as the Minecraft inspired diamond sword shown left that was located from Thingiverse.

We also have students who are continuing to use Tinkercad to work on their individual CAD design skills.   

We have detailed the progress of a number of students in the classroom who have been developing their linking skills  this has been an important part of the students looking to create a version of flexi animals.  

As we have noted in the past students have progressed to the point that they are experimenting  with the linking and the last step is applying their linking and skills to examples like the snake shown left.

Students have determined that this meets the criteria of innovation and personalisation.
