Last Thursday, two classes of Year 9 students attended a small session at the Geelong Tech School to try out 3D design using their “CAD it” session. Students used an industry CAD program called “OnShape” to design their own container and lid of a shape and size of their choosing.
Some reviews for students and staff are:
I made the lid of my cupcake and I printed it out, I also got a yummy Coke and mini M&Ms. Avah L
So, this is the school where the magic happens. I’m just helping girls to create sketches and to refine them, so that they can create a finished product. Iteration is really the key to success here, improving things as they go so that they get better and better. Mr Vanderstoep
It’s been fantastic today to see the girl’s sketches come to life as 3D printouts. Mrs Rixon
I did a few prototypes and worked on the way I wanted my container and lid to look. Georgia A
I feel so smart doing this. Georgia F
This is so great, and fun. I’m learning so much. Alyssa P
It’s totally so fun. Steph W
It was a fun day. Sadie C
A huge thankyou to Lachie and Jen from Geelong Tech School for teaching our students valuable creative skills and to the wider tech school staff for helping facilitate a wonderful excursion.
