We have recently had a major event at school our Pet and Calf Day. As part of the day the students from the school create a diorama of a scene, which is created by each of the senior students at Auroa Primary School.
Our junior class went to view the displays and while we were there we came up with a challenge for our students - design something that looks like it could be part of the display in Tinkercad and then add it into the display using the Tinkercad App and its AR/VR option.
This challenged our students to think on their feet because they had not viewed the displays in-depth before the task. They also had a limited design time and needed to see what they could make. In the example at the top of the post the students added the snowman at the front left to fit in with the Christmas theme.
Another student choose the same scene, the same perspective and added a different figure at the same point, the cartoon inspired Christmas Tree shown left. In both examples students had to create the design to be inserted as they were sitting in the classroom looking at the displays so they had a very short design time.
Sometime they also had to manipulate the design so it appeared more natural with the setting and in the rest of the display.
The bright colours and the figures in the diorama also lent themselves to this task. In the example that is shown left the student added a wheel or as they described it a pizza between the two figures on the stage.
The student felt that it looked realistic and fit with the rest of the display.
This task allowed an entire class of students to create something and be able to submit it that morning and challenged them to share ideas and quickly think on their feet to use the environment.
In the image shown left, this is the same diorama from another viewpoint. This design had the colour that the student wanted and felt that it would be a suitable environment to 'hide' an object.
They choose to add a rabbit which is located to the left of the waterfall.
The choose a colour which made the rabbit stand out, and then also related the rabbit to a series of books with a similar theme that they have enjoyed which is the 'Where's Wally?' books. Creating a character this is repeatedly hid in a variety of locations.
The student responsible for this creation here really extended herself and excelled. She looked at the original presentation and decide the best way to hide an object was to mimic one of the existing objects.
She created a mushroom, designed it as she felt the originals looked and then coloured it with the same colour scheme as the other mushrooms that are shown in the scene. In this instance her creation fitted seamlessly and was extremely difficult to identify and spot.
