WEEKLY PRACTICES
For our first meeting, we looked at all of the team instructions, brainstormed problems and solutions, and brainstormed team names. We have a lot of kids!

This week we learned how to do Tinkercad and when we finished the basics we made something to 3D print. We also brainstormed some idea for problems in space.
These three boys, Zaeden, Brayden and, Grayson are making new designs on tinkercad for Christmas. This helps us learn Tinkercad better.
Today, this club is doing a challenge to learn the engineer design process. we are doing a project to make something that our partner will succeed more in class.
Today, Blake 3D printed Mason a desk tray for his desk. First, Blake interviewed Mason to see what he wanted. Then, Blake prototyped a cardboard design before he 3D printed his final design.
Daniel designed his own pencil holder since he missed the day we assigned partners.
This is my fidget that was supposed be a infinity cube but I aligned it wrong so it was slow and you can't fold it and unfold it fast.
-Iris
This is a fidget toy that SHOULD have a marble in it but the print didn't pause so the marble never got inside.
-Blake
This fidget does NOT have the right dimensions to fit ALL the marbles so one pops out of the whole.
-Bailey
we made the cups as a puzzle your supposed to stack the cups up. after we printed the cups we realized that there is no gravity in space so you cant stack them.
-Bree
This slime container messed up because the platform was not leveled.
-Bailey
On this one the fidget on the left was sliding to the left and got messed up ang the on on the right the circles weren't the same size.
-Bailey
Whitney and Bree are making a sign that says S.T.E.M
Brielle is making the slides for our slideshow for the compatition.
We all love S.T.E.M because it is such a fun way to learn and really educates us in a completly different way.
This experience was so cool and very educating. We asked questions and got very good answers. For example Whitney asked if our shakers would work in space and surprisingly he said that it probably work.
During our STEM designation presentation we had the opportunity to practice our 3D printing presentation in front of our school. We noticed some flaws that we tackled easily the next meeting. It was great practice and we feel lucky that we had the chance to practice before the real thing.
