I've been wanting to try making paper circuits for a while, and ordered some coin batteries and LED bulbs from Amazon.ca. I had some spare copper tape, and asked our Gr1 teachers if they were interested in making Valentine's Day cards. One class had already started their love bugs, so we decided to ask the students to choose a love bug to light up. It proved a bit fiddly for the students, who needed quite a lot of assistance. Here is the result:

It's been a few months since I researched 3D printer apps, so I took another look at what was around. I came across 3DSlash (essentially like a sculpting tool) and wanted to trial it with our Gr3 students. As they're studying First Nations pre-European contact, in conjunction with the class teachers we decided to create Inukshuks. Once I had worked out how to save the student work (using a free account we're only able to log in two students at a time) we got to work. The first session was free play to explore how the app worked, then the second session focussed on the Inukshuk design. Not every student was able to finish, so we'll need one more session in order for everyone to have a finished product. The results speak for them selves! |
