3D Printing Adventures Begin!

In class 9 we have started a very exciting project! Thanks to Rotary Pt England School has got it's very own 3D printer, a MakerBot Replicator 2. This week we started a design project where we will follow the design process to create our very own 3D printed product. While we began our design our teacher printed some cool things to get us inspired about what we could design ourselves. So far we have discussed a problem, completed a brainstorm and begun designing our product on paper. Our next step will be to use TinkerCad on our Chromebooks to make our designs digital and 3D.

Our Animations in 3D

This term we have been creating animations of side scrolling games that we have each designed. We then created a movie using our animations and our awesome acting skills.
