One project I have seen students really take hold of.. literally, is the the Pens that can be turned out of wood or acrylic on a mini lathe. Its something that is pretty quick and easy for students to do and gives them something tangible they can take home after its complete to use or give to a friend or family member. The best part about this project is the pen kids are really inexpensive. Students can complete the whole project for around $2.
After teaching this in my own classroom, then getting a 3D printer it wasn't long before I had students designing the Pens on the computer and 3D printing them out and putting them together! Its a quick project, the print time on it is a little less than an hour. Students can design them how ever they want or download one already created! I have more info on this project on my website, including a video of a print, as well as how to purchase the pen kits. www.teach3D.org
Thanks!
