We detailed on a previous post about using the school laser cutter to produce a range of Christmas Trees with a short space of time for decoration. Once this was completed the next question was what can we add? What could we make that would work in conjunction with this?
An example is shown left. The original design is the large Christmas Tree featured on this blog here. There is a star which was designed very quickly independently by a Y3 student. The student used a basic design template to produce a star, inserted a letter into the base of the star and inserted a line into the middle so that it could sit on the tree. None of these elements took more than one minute to produce.
The student is now looking towards the next steps - what else can the students design using Tinkercad to add to the tree. In the case of the star the entire print was fifteen minutes to print.
The student wanted to look at decoration ideas - one of the ideas was to dye the MDF green and then to use a small set of battery powered set of Christmas lights to illuminate the tree (this would also work if the student had a set of three trees that were in a row.
