Recently we did a couple of little things.
We hosted 55 6th grade students from Lakeview Elementary before they toured the Art Museum. Adam Scribner and I split them in half for two 45 minute sessions. Adam ran a STEM activity with them. I spoke with them about makerspaces and maker mindset and tools. They worked with the 3 cardboard tools (and kept cutting the whole time). I had a couple of 3D printers going and we lasered some medallions so they could see those machines in action.
The second thing was going to Unionville Elementary twice to help a class with 3D design & printing. They were using Tinkercad to create an animal for an Indiana ecosystem. Then they were going to build the ecosystem in Tinkercad. I also loaned my 3D printers so they could get all the animals printed.
