What does it mean to invent? How do inventors come up with ideas? These are some of the question that the Prototyping and Inventing 7/8 Choice Class pondered this past week. Students were given a challenge to design a better solution to organize the wires on the Innovation Lab tables. First students sketched out ideas on paper, then many followed up with Tinkercad , an online tool for creating 3d objects. A few students opted to use another 3d modeling program or physical materials. Students received feedback through a gallery walk activity and used the feedback to make changes. Finally the class voted and chose four designs to be 3d printed and tested. The final designs wil be included in a future blog post!
