I need a physical object (computer cover) either scanned or manually re-created in tinkercad/fusion. It is a bit tedious as it has small tabs that need to be measured properly. It takes some precision. I would like a copy of the editable CAD file so it can be modified later. 

I have been looking for a solution to store circular knitting needles at home without them getting tangled up.  I have seen an idea on Etsy but it's not quite right.   See attached images....

I would want mine to have more slots than this (at least 12).  I would also want each slot big enough to take multiple needles (maybe 3) - I think this one can actually (see the Etsy page here if interested).

I don't mind what material this is made of, and if it's recycled, so much the better.  It would need to be relatively smooth on the edges though.

I can bring in some needles if I know someone is coming to talk to me.

Not sure if this is sth for your students, but Lucie Nuehlen has a wooden pirate ship which is well loved by our students, but came in deep ( emotional) waters and now  need some repairing.

Could your students help with  this?

We would love a light table for the classroom to explore various materials and science principles. It would be great if the table could be round but it is not necessary. Approx. 65cm diameter  or if square 60 x 60cm. Under should be some storage space for a few boxes.  Height about 40cm (so kids can sit or kneel while using it).   Thanks!

The FIS unicorns need your help in creating something they can wear for the next events that they will represent FIS. Last year at the JP Morgan everyone was loving the costumes and kept asking about our company. It would be great if you can create a shirt or something for them to clearly say they are with Frankfurt International School :) 

Outdoor pergola with pallets! We are renovating our outdoor space and would like to create a cozy space for children. We are only missing an outdoor pergola! Something like this https://www.communityplaythings.de/produkte/spiel-im-freien/outlast/pergola/outlast-pergola-bank?v=W461

I love collecting Christmas mugs and would like to have a nice display for them :) 

Pens/tools supply storage problem:

We have limited table space, but want to be able to view and be able to access lots of different art tools at once. It would a bonus to be about to remove the whole set of one tool and transport it at once to work on something elsewhere (in a box or drawer for example). The spaces for each tool need to be quite large (e.g. whole sets of pens or coloured pencils).

Following the refurbishment of the science department the cupboards were never finished/equipped with shelving. Could you design shelving that could be added to the inside of these cupboards - maybe different designs for different purposes?

I need a smaller table (low to the ground) with a way to hide away our "break" items.  Almost like my current standing table that was made many years ago by the DT group but in a smaller version and square.

I always have bits of paper on my desk for different things I am working on with different levels of urgency.  This leaves me with little desk space.  I would like a vertical shelving paper organiser please.

Kids stationary - pencils, markers, erasers etc - always end up messy in a box. We would like the DT students to design and create a wooden stationery holder for our classroom. The kids sitting at each table are sharing the stationary. We have 6 tables in Ms Gabby's Grade 1 classroom. We would like the DT students to design and create if possible 6 wooden stationery holders for our classroom. The holder should include the following features:

- 1 compartments for 6 children's scissors (14 cm long).

- 1 compartment for 4-6 glue sticks.

- 1 compartment for 30 thick colored pencils (used in Grade 1).

- 1 compartment for 10 regular pencils and 10 thin black markers together

A lower compartment for a few erasers and 2 sharpeners.

The design should ensure that all items are neatly organized and easily accessible.

Thank you and please let me know if you'd like further adjustments!

I would like more 3D printed puzzles to put on my desk so students can try them when they walk in. The issue is that they need individual containers to be stored in and it needs to say how many pieces are supposed to be in there and directions for the puzzle challenge. Each puzzle should be a different color so the pieces don't get mixed up.

Each year we attend recruitment fairs and other events where we get to share about how awesome FIS is.  At these events, we often have a table where we have written materials and we like to have small gifts that we can give to people.  In the past, we 3D printed some small keychains or FIS widgets to give out.  We would love to continue our focus on sustainability by thinking beyond just 3D plastic to see what else we might be able to design and construct that 1) showcases our students' creativity, skill, and ideas and 2) has a focus on sustainability.

We need to photograph the students 3-D artwork to create digital stories with. The kids are creating clay and woodworking pieces. We want to photograph them in a background free way to add to their personal books. 

- Storage for collections of things that the children count in class. Right now I have have them in plastic bags ( see photo attached) which is not ideal. Maybe some kind of box with pull-out trays that the children can take out and put back easily. See the picture of a small plastic one I have. 

- A chart stand for big chart paper, maybe tripod shaped with a ledge for pens and some kind of clip system at the top to attach the paper.

- Some kind of easily accessible storage solution for headphones in the classroom.

I am a part of the sustainability strategic impact and we are trying to think of ways we can spread holiday cheer without using live Christmas trees.  There are other models out there that could be created that would be a more sustainable take on this tradition.  Usually we have had these trees in our lobbies and other common spaces in our buildings.  What else could be used?  

I have a coffee table from IKEA that I would like the top of the table to be able to expand to have a greater surface area. Something like a construction that could fit and perhaps attach on top of the existing table surface and unfold to a greater dimension. It would need to still support some weight, and ideally be as smooth as possible along the top surface (top when expanded out) the current table has a top surface area of 118cm x 78cm, and I'm wondering if it's possible to create something that could unfold that changes the length from that 118cm to about 180cm, and the 78cm width to 120cm. Would be good if it doesn't damage the existing table surface when placed/attached on top of it. 

I would like to have a file holder for my choir folders. 

Need a tool Organiser. That can hold drills. See photo

We would like a shelf like this to make our classroom look cozy with their family photos there.    

I had to smash my light cover/shade in my bathroom to change the bulb and I would like a new lampshade.  There is a small disc (2 cm diameter) which used to hold a glass bowl in place.  I cannot remove this so whatever is made, would need to 'attach' or be support by this disc. I am happy with any design - go wild!

We would love to have a clear square tray for our sensory experiences!!! 

The tables have wheels and thus they can be moved around too easily, even if they are not supposed to. Last year, 2 students constructed a "stopper" that was really helpful and efficient, but not sturdy enough because it was made of wood. It would be great if someone could come up with a different solution or apply the current idea to a different sturdier material. I would really appreciate that:-)

Part of the Sensory Circuit for the First Steps children

We are looking to include new things to support Neurodiversity and different ways to activate their body for learning. 

DofE Map 

- We need a large wooden board with maps of the local area on one side and maps on the Manderscheid area on the other side. Both sides would need to be laminated or covered in thin perspex so that we could plot routes onto the maps. 

- The whole thing would need to be mobile so that we could take it to different classrooms.  

The map would be great to have this year but it will always be useful. 

Science 

Resonance of chladni plates and circular resonance. In science we have a vibration generator and have tried to make these in the past but they are not good enough to get consistent results. We would need someone to build a plate and loop and an attachment system that is good at transferring the vibrations to the system. I think it would take a lot of trial and error in working out which type of wire would be best for the loop. Too stiff and you do not get the higher levels of resonance. Too bendy and the wire permanently demorms and you do not get a clear pattern. 

I would need a light on my balcony but would like to use alternative resources

e-NABLE is an online global community of “Digital Humanitarian” volunteers from all over the world who are using their 3D printers to make free and low-cost prosthetic upper limb devices for children and adults in need. The open-source designs created by e-NABLE Volunteers help those who were born missing their fingers and hands or who have lost them due to war, natural disaster, illness or accidents.

Every year we hang IB Artwork in this space above the Techdeck area. At the moment we slide the artwork along a rail - it is very tricky and involves me getting on a ladder, which could be dangerous. Could you design a pulley system that would help?
