What content do you recommence for a 2h introduction class with 8-12yo ?
Hi everyone,
I am preparing a 2 h introduction workshop with kids aged from 8 to 12, and I am looking for some feedback and interesting idea on what content to put at the agenda of this first 3d printing session.
here is what I was thinking of:
-a quick introduction to manufacturing usage, saying that things don't always have to be bought and can also be made, and that it can be fun to do that,
-a first manipulation to the basic tooling of the software I am using,
-a first case with a prepared Minecraft figurine (will this interest girls ??). I think that with such a use case, kids will see that they can make something fun easily. At the end I want to provide them with a standard figurine I will have printed for each of them,
Then I hesitate between :
-a second use case, rather useful, and so also targeting parents to show them the Interest : a pencil case, a jewels box for girls,
-a free design session, I am scared it leads to a mess..
maybe be I can also do both.
is it how you usually process ?
Do you think it is doable in terms of time ?
do you think the use cases are well selected in terms of attractivity for kids this age ?
thks for your feedback!
