We finished up the October challenges and I believe the kids had some great fun with them. After the rubber band powered Lego car challenge, we moved right into the most creative 3D printed Jack-O-Lantern. Below is the picture of the winning Jack-O-Lantern.
We then moved on the final week of October into the candy corn catapult challenge. The students made catapults using only popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and plastic spoons. The person or team to launch the candy corn the farthest won the challenge. Unfortunately, I do not have a video of the farthest launch, but it measured a whopping 82 feet!
We are now into mid-November and I have my classes working on 3D printing and constructing out of Legos, a winter scene from Times Square and Rockefeller Center. So far this is what we have:
The green print will be our tree for Rockefeller Center, it still needs to be trimmed, just like a real tree! We also have a skating rink that needs to be painted, and our plan is to have the skater twirling around on the rink using an Arduino motor. We also plan to print replicas of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Buidling. I'll post a picture of the finished scene once it is up!
