3D Designing and Printing / Technology

This semester some groups of the students worked on using 3D printing and designing tools including Laser cutting to produce a viable solution to their chosen Sustainable Development Goal.  The students researched and designed using TinkerCad and other softwares to design their prototype.  After testing and trialing many prototypes they perfected their solutions.  Below is the link to the short video and presentation of one of the groups with Adiya, Paisley and Ella and Velandra.
