I like using real-world examples within project-based group projects. Having access to a quality, fast 3D printer will allow my students to collaborate together to create objects to help solve a problem. I will reach out to local businesses and other teachers in the district to find project ideas that students can create solutions for. One idea from a kindergarten teacher is to have my students design a pencil gripper for her class. She used to buy a certain gripper that is no longer available. She would like to work with my students to give them the design constraints and have them create prototypes. She can test them with her students and give feedback. These types of real-world projects offer students incredible opportunities and give them skills they can apply throughout the rest of their lives.
