2025 Seniors Market Day - Acrylic LED Nightlight Signs

 

During our school Market Day for 2025 we had a number of innovative and creative projects created by the students of Auroa Primary School.   While our students in the junior school concentrated on using Tinkercad and 3D Printing the senior school worked on a number of projects using the School Laser Cutter.  

One of the most popular items from the entire school was the laser cut acrylic night lights.   The students used their Mac Books and Sketch Up to design the top half of the lights.   We were able to produce a range of personalised and localised lights - that were not available anywhere else.   The base of the light was ordered from a prominent online supplier and done so in bulk.  This allowed the students to produce something of high quality and the price that they charged for this - although the purpose of the Market Day was not a fundraiser it was a combination of innovation, personalisation and creativity.

There are numerous resources available online to complete the process - once the template had been produced the senior (twelve and thirteen) year old students were able to complete these independently.

Thank you for your visit - its the School Holidays in New Zealand, our students are returning to school in February 2026 when we'll be back with another year of activities and projects with our seven and eight year olds.  We look forward to your visit then.
