Market Day: One off inspiration for Junior School

 

We are preparing students for the bi-annual Auroa School market day.   In doing this we want to get them enthused and thinking about what they are interested in, what they are able to create and what gets them excited and motivated.


Minecraft is an example of something that is available with numerous examples and creations online.   The two examples shown here are available as free creations from the Thingiverse site.  In both instances we did not design or create these prints.   We wanted the students to handle, use and then think about what could be next or what could you compare these designs to.

The sign that is shown above took just over sixty minutes to print and due to its current size it has a limited purpose, however the students have already starting thinking about what they could add to it, could it be made into a sign or a display, or used in combination with an LED light.   The second design the iconic TNT boxes have been developed as candle holders by a user on Thingiverse.  This print took over sixty minutes to print for each box measuring 30mm across, high and deep.
