Introduction

Key Concepts

  • Collaboration
  • Communication
  • Printability
  • Creativity
This is a team/communication building activity where you separate students into teams of three.

Once you have separated students into teams, ask them to use Tinkercad to create as many parts as possible that fit into a potato. Set a time limit that creates a sense of urgency (45-90 minutes).

If possible, each team should have access to a printer so that they can print and test as soon as possible.

Take Aways

How can teams divide the work up effectively (i.e. how do they break up tasks, develop strategies, communicate with each other).
