Fabrication Studio

About this class

In this class, we will explore solving problems with fabrication. We will be creating 3d models of possible solutions and then making them out of cardboard, plastic, wood and other materials.

Class participants will have the option to be certified on the 3d printer and laser cutter so that they can use these tools independently.

Challenge One

Create a track which allows a ping pong ball to travel to the target in the middle of the table. 

• You can only use materials on the table.
• The ball must travel without you touching it.
• The ball has to make it the whole way across the table.
