#TodaysMomentOfAwesome My favorite project is students learn to solder in Wearable Tech. In part because it reminds me @emmafletcher.bsky.social & @acolborn.bsky.social are genuinely awesome people & the crew at Learn To Solder kits are encouraging kids to make great things.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Why projects are important & why time to iterate is essential. The Milk Chocolate version was 3 weeks ago. White was printed today.
Adding a base, sharpening edges, wider line stroks make a difference.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome once upon a time @acolborn.bsky.social & @emmafletcher.bsky.social gave me a Learn To Solder kit specifically to give to a student. I heard from the students mom today they are still using it, had it yesterday for a project.

Winter Break Quotes Edition
“The child gives us a beautiful lesson – that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands. ” -- Maria Montessori "The 1946 London Lectures"
#EduSky #Constructionism #MakerEdu
"If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother trying to teach them. Instead give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking". --Buckminster Fuller
This is why Constructionism and The Maker Movement work so well.
And are so overlooked.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Playing around with PETG, PLA & TPU in the form of printed airless pingpong balls. You might be surprised which one actually makes the better replacement..... And is it as good as the original? 🤔
#EduSky #3DPrinterEdu #MakerEdu
#TodaysMomentOfAwesome 7th Grade 3D printing class has progressed to be able to change filament, adjust slicer settings, and decide between PLA PETG or TPU. Their designs are showing thought & depth about what they're making.
Next Stop ... Maker Faire!

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome 3D print class has the challenge "Design & print something that moves" implying print in place / gears
student is designing planetary gears, which lead to "How many teeth on a gear?" which lead to "How far apart are they?" which lead to geometry & algebra

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Working the CocoaPress booth at @3dprintopia.bsky.social my 1st 3D print event
Walking around, talking to people, seeing the amazing ideas that come from Cartesian planes & melting plastic to become absolutely incredible designs.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Preparing for @3dprintopia.bsky.social 6th Grade interviewed a 3D Print Enthusiast Teacher "What would impress you about printing in chocolate?"
Based on his responses, they made Gaming Icons. 🤓

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Showing 6th graders how a 3D Slicer works, then showing their designs layer by layer before it prints. They started seeing infill & walls saying "How do I fix that?"
They're taking pride in their work before it's even tangible.

A student of mine drew this fantastic bunny, Loopy the Bunny. Then used @Tinkercad to create a 3D model. Finally we printed it. Such an awesome design and a custom action figure of their drawing! #makeredu #makereducation #sped #spedtech #spedteacher #edtech
Today's Awesome Moment in Class: Wearable Tech is full steam ahead. 3D printing, coding, soldering, all the Maker Skills.
This is why Constructionism is so important. Build what you've learned is undeniable.
This is what learning looks like.

Today's Awesome Moment in Class: Chocolates based on the logo of Center for Teaching & Learning. Monochrome (brown) made shapes & sizes much more important. Clients will give feedback tomorrow.

Today's Awesome Moment in Class: Wearable Tech is moving from Design to Construction, having learned soldering, modeling and 3D printing before. Every 3D printer I have (except the CocoaPress) is running to make something for a student.
This is the glory of a MakerSpace.

Today's Awesome Classroom Moment: 7th graders are learning 3D CAD / Rapid Prototyping. Current project is simply "Make a toy but it has to be 100% original work, No remixing."
One girl is making a 2 story doll house, with a meeple family.
Hour 1 of 24 on the printer.
