Combing Tinkercad + Pic Collage Step Two and Three

 This weeks classroom challenge for the seven and eight year olds at Auroa Primary School has been using AR/VR technology in using Tinkercad to AR/VR students design - and then we have 'app smashed'.

In this example shown left you can see a screenshot from a students iPad.   The design that is present in the figure is the original Tinkercad design.   Using the students iPad and the Tinkecad App a single button allows the projecting of the image to nearly any location and nearly any size.

The student has super-sized this design so it towers over a local building (the Auroa Cricket Club) and the Auroa Primary School Field.   The student concerned is a cohort one student who is eight years old who worked on this design independently without any teacher input.   The design brief was to create a original 'lego inspired' figure for our 'lego - not lego'  design and this is the second step in the process.     While this design is creative and amusing.

This is the same figure with a Pic Collage Filter applied (which in this case is the Autumn figure) it has changed the image background significantly and turned it from an interesting one into something more creative.   The process for this was to apply the app and use the 'Magic Camera' AR/VR filter.    It then produced the finished shown left.

The student now needs to consider the trimming or the editing of the photo and then reintroduce the altered image back into a photo editing program before it is displayed on the wall or as part of a digital display.

This is a further example shown left.  In this example the student created a frying pan as part of the objects to be placed inside the 'lego-not lego' task.   The design took the students under ten minutes to create and then project into the kitchen setting.   Once this had been completed the student experimented with different pic collage filter to look at what would manipulate the image to produce the most striking image and settled on the image shown left.

Again the final step is to manipulate the image again in photo-editing software to complete the task.
