Projects for Grade 4 to Grade 7

Project #1

Cardboard Stacking

Students will be inspired by stacked cardboard sculptures and functional objects (vases, bowls, lamp shades) and design/build their own.

Project #2

Stools

Students will start with a pre-designed file of a small stool with six plain, rectangular legs. Students will redesign the legs of the stool in their own creative ways.

Project #3

Helicopter Glider

Students will work in teams to improve on a pre-designed wind turbine.

Project #4

Tallest Tower Challenge

Students will work in teams to design a bridge with a limited amount of material. Students are encouraged to iterate on their design in order to design the tallest tower in the class.

Project #5

Make a Grabber Arm

Students will work in teams to identify problems with a pre-designed grabber arm file. Students will design and build prototypes in order to make the grabber arm more successful.

Project #6

Finger Joint Box

Students select a pre-designed file to build a laser cut finger joint box. Students will customize the box and assemble it.

Project #7

Photo Engravings with Gradient

Students will learn about Pop Art and its emphasis on repetition. Students will import a photo to Beam Studio and use gradient controls to transform the photo into 4 different designs to be etched into a piece of wood.

Project #8

Coaster Map

Students will select a location that is meaningful to them or someone they care about. Students will use boolean subtraction to edit down their map and turn it into a laser cut coaster design.

Project #9

Double Sided Coin

Students will research a currency system (current or outdated) that utilizes coins. Students will replicate the coin design, and develop a way to laser etch on both sides of a piece of wood, to create a replica of the coin.

Project #10

Invention for Global Goals

Students will choose a problem from the global goals and prototype a product to fix it using the laser cutter. The prototype can be any fidelity so long as it communicates effectively.
