3D Printing a Bubble Wand
by Tina Kennedy
This lesson was for 2nd/3rd graders in an after-school class. Students were not familiar with 3D printing or Tinkercad. We spent 3 days to complete. Day 1 was learning about 3D printing, opening Tinkercad's website, and joining a Tinkercad classroom created for this class. Day 2 involved making the handle, creating a bubble blower design, and creating a hole in the bubble blower to remove solid materials. Day 3 was finishing the shapes, aligning, and grouping the finished design.

In this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process (EDP) to create a prototype of a device that can prevent squirrels from accessing a bird feeder. This is a great way to integrate

Students will create their own cookie cutters to fill a custom order in their bakery. They will need access to 3D design software like Tinkercad and access to a 3D printer. It's even more fun when you
