Post Project Reflection Form Responses:
What are your thoughts on the Design Process?
"Its so cool! to just come up with ideas that help people. I think its something that every one should do and enjoy."
"This is a new experience and a fun process. mostly to see your ideas come to life."
"It was cool to express yourself on what you think would be cool also to do and use your imagination".
"It's amazing that you can create things on a computer and it can print out 3D!"
"It was fun to do and write down your ideas on a piece of paper to know what you thinking about doing."
What do you think of Sketchup?
"I thought sketch up was cool to learn with and I thought sketch up was so cool to understand with."
"I think you can learn from it when you try to make it the perfect size by using inches and feet."
" I think Sketchup is an wonderful app to play on because it teaches kids how to use their imagination and build it. It helped me use
mine."
"I personally thought it was challenging but yet fun. It gives a whole new meaning of "you learn something new everyday.". I learned
about a lot of different tools on Sketch up."
"I think the measurements are confusing."
"I think Sketchup is educational because you have to find how to get the right place to place/build them in the right spot. I love Sketchup even if its hard."
What was something that you liked about the project?
"I liked it when I finally finished and it got printed. It was cool to see my invention come to life.
"I like that you could make something and be able to try it out."
" One thing that i liked about my project was being creative and have a mind of your own and just doing what you want."
"I think it is a little step to becoming an inventor. I loved the measuring tool so I could check my measurements."
"I liked that we got to pick our colors."
" I liked that I tried something new on this project. Before the project, i have never ever seen a 3D printer in my life!"
"The whole thing! I love building and making things."
What was something you didn't like about the project?
"That it was very frustrating when i had to start all over again. All that work."
"That my Ear Buddies failed 4 times!"
"I didn't like the way the format was set up with the tools. if you really needed to fix something quick with your project, it takes
a little while to find all of the tools you need."
"There is nothing to not like."
"The amount of time it took."
"Writing the measurements."
"It was hard in some parts."
"I LOVED EVERYTHING!!!!"
Describe something you learned?
"I learned so much about the 3D printer that I can not even begin to tell you! I learned that you can make most really anything
with plastic in Sketchup."
"Working with each other... having to pick what we wanted and seeing what we should do."
"I learned how to handle Sketchup."
"DO NOT MAKE TOO MANY LINES!!"
" I learned how to use my imagination more."
"I learned a lot of things doing this project. One thing that was easy for me to get a good grip on was the follow me tool and
the push pull tool."
" I learned that you cannot make a perfect tool with out thought."
What do you think about printing in 3D?
"All together, its not great......its....AMAZING! we love how it allows you to express yourself and learn new things."
" I think it a great thing to print in 3D because if kids want be a builder when they grow up."
"I think it is a awesome way to learn. It is also a cheaper way to repair toys or missing parts."
"Its a great process."
" I think this technology is amazing."
" I love printing on the 3d printer."
"It was pretty cool how it started as thin strips of plastic and turned ,well, 3D!"
Do you have any advice for next year's students?
"All I have to say is when you're on Sketchup, always make walls around your pockets and take your time, use you're time
wisely."
"Do not make too many lines the MakerBot will try to print it, IT DOESN'T WORK!!!"
"keep an open mind and stick to your ideas."
"Make sure to use the follow me tool for creating walls in stead of using the push pull tool."
" I think it takes patience."
"DO NOT DRAW TOO MANY LINES YOU DON'T NEED AND DON'T HOLLOW SOMETHING WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO DO IT."
