One of the big units in our STEM class is focused on new technology, and I've chosen 3D printing because of all the different skills and concepts that can be practiced and brought together from each of our subject areas (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, as well as business!). This project requests one QIDI TECHNOLOGY 3D printer to fulfill our technology-based STEM challenges. Each class we have STEM challenges, in which we follow the steps of the engineering design process (ask, imagine, plan, create, improve) to solve a problem. We have an upcoming 3D printing challenge, in which one of our class minions, Dave, has a problem with his favorite pair of overalls. While doing laundry, all of the buttons on his favorite pair of overalls popped off. Dave has recruited our STEM students to build him a new 3D printed button using Tinkercad software. In the challenge, students have the opportunity to build their business and tech-savvy skills by considering the many different facets of building and promoting a product. During the challenge, students are encouraged to focus on two major areas: creativity and cost-efficiency. For creativity, students present and market their product to the class, after which everyone will vote on the one they feel they would buy. For cost-efficiency, students use their math skills to calculate the volume and to determine material costs for their button. Students with the most creative, cost efficient button are deemed the challenge winners and get to put their buttons on display for the school to admire.
