Point of View

Chong

• Challenges and solutions I tried using Fusion 360. I was not familiar with Fusion 360 although I would like to learn to use it. I found this you tube video which was very helpful guide for me to create the ambigram from scratch by myself.

Reflection

• Tinkercad is providing more powerful tools for users such as the latest Sketch Tool. I saw in another video the use of extrude, revolve, twist to tranform 2D shapes into interesting 3D objects.

• Application to Teaching As I need to guide students working on Invention Projects, being familar with such online sketching tools would help me to support my students better.

• My next step is to continue the learning and practise using such design application or platform.

• This fabricated object will be displayed at the entrance of the school Makerspace.

• Curriculum - I see some connection of this application with that of maths set theory on union and intersection.

Tools

• 3D Printer
