Students 

  • are introduced to the MPACT design/making model and design a bookmark to be 3D printed. 
  • learn about measurement. 
  • Figure out why a design will not 3D print well (decomposition in CT). 
Project 2. Make a Soma Cube Puzzle with a Box   Illustration of a Square Pyramid

Students will: 

  • use the design/making model to make a 3D printed Soma Cube puzzle with Tinkercad.
