12/18 Ordering 3D prints & Robotics

1.  3D print pricing:

• Handling fee of $3.00 per item
• $0.75 per cm3

Example:  A cube measuring 20mm by 20mm by 30mm is equivalent to 2cm x 2cm x 3 cm.  The volume of that cube is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12cm3

So, the price is 12 x $0.75 + $3.00 = $12.00

2.  Thin walls- the minimum wall thickness is 2mm.  If you are making hollow pieces, make sure that the wall is at least 2mm.

3.  Make sure all of your projects are set to PUBLIC.  Otherwise, I won't be able to order a print.

4.  Google form for 3D print ordering.

5.  Robotics

12/11 Introduction to Robotics

1. So, when are we getting our 3D prints?

2. Introduction to Robotics

• SparkFun Robotics.
• Boe-Bot (this is what we're using) Maze.
• Boe-Bot Basketball.

3.  Create Robotics Notebook- can either be a packet of at least 10 pages stapled together, OR a Google Document.

This is where you will take notes, answer questions, and keep track of your robot's movements.

The Robotics Notebook is what I will grade for this module.

4.  Partner up! 

5.  Visit Mr. Robinett's Robotics page on the STEAM website:

https://sites.google.com/site/robinettmathsynergisticslab/robotics.

This is where the daily assignments will be kept.  Check here for instructions.

6.  Start Robotics!  This is a move at your own pace module.  Have fun!

12/10 3D Printing & Destination Imagination

1.  Mr. R's Tinkercad mini-lesson

• How to make your product cheaper
• The Workplane
• How to rotate objects
• How to insert an image (kind of)
• How to mold an object

2.  Checklist in the computer lab:

• Fill out this Google form to share your username.

• Fill out this Google form to help me select your partner for Robotics.

3.  3D modeling time!

4.  How to check how much your design will cost (at home)

5.  How to make your projects public so that others can see them.

6.  Back to the classroom for Destination Imagination:  Antique from 2514

7.  3D printing show-and-tell

12/5 Housecleaning + 3D printing + Destination Imagination

1.  Last night I graded all of the Arduino Reflection Logs that had been turned in.  Check your grade.  If you don't have a grade, you must submit your Reflection Log by clicking the "Turn-in" button in the top right corner.

2.  E-portfolios:  A way to document your learning and achievements throughout your academic career.

We need to add:

• Electronic Circuits website
• Arduino Reflection Log

3.  Destination Imagination:  Antique from the year 2514

4.  Begin working on 3D printing final project

12/3 Create a 3D printed ornament

1.  Tinkercad mini-lesson with Mr. Robinett

• The Workplane
• Holes decrease volume
• Rotating objects

2.  Begin building ornament.  Sign into your Tinkercad account first.  Then, click this link and MAKE A COPY.

3.  Brain break to watch another video explaining 3D printing, Shapeways, and the printing process.

4.  More ornament time!

5.  Click this link to send Mr. Robinett your Tinkercad account.

6.  Destination Imagination:  Antique from the year 2514

Beginning of 3D Printing Module

1.  Introduction to 3D printing:  CNN video.

2.  What questions do you have about 3D printing?  Make a list of questions you would like answered.  Some might get answered today, others may get answered later.

3.  3D printing and the future of stuff video.

4.  Introduction to Shapeways, our partner in 3D printing.

• Shapeways video:  How Shapeways works.
• Visit shapeways.com (from home) and browse the website.

5.  Introduction to Tinkercad: tinkercad.com

Homework: Create a Tinkercad account (with parent permission) and browse Shapeways.com website
