Market Day Preparation VR/AR

 

As we are approaching our 2025 School Market Day our students have started the processing of their business orders.

Each group made a 'Kickstarter' video to promote their product and from their the potential customers were able to make and order and request a personalisation for their potential order.

We posted about the videos for our school previously on this blog.   You can watch videos here which include iPad stands, key rings, or here to see videos featuring bath toys and flexi animals.     

One of the challenges for the students is preparing for this school event and to keep the students challenging and designing.    This is another way in which Tinkercad can come to the fore.   With its design aspect the students are able to process the orders which they have pending - that is the students have designed the personalised potential projects and then are able to AR/VR the designs into place (so in the case of the iPad stands onto a desk) allowing the people who have ordered them to view them prior to the designs being printed.

We have posted about this aspect of Tinkercad numerous times, which is a feature available when using the Tinkercad App on an iPad.  We have used it extensively to test designs viability before we print, to ensure that everyone can create (ie while we are waiting for the printers to become available)

This has allowed the students to gain feedback on their design but also to allow a heavy degree of personalisation from the purchasers who are going to be able to on the day of the Market Day come and collect (and purchase) products which have been highly personalised for them.
