Last week was a perfect time to try new materials on the Glowforge to design. The project called Design for a Loved One gave designers the choice to use $5 of their Design on a Budget money to create either a bamboo candle holder or leather key fob.
Check out the tutorial videos as well as the final projects that were created. |

I applied to become a Glowforge Educational Ambassador. Check out the impact that this powerful tool has provided my designers through the InfyMakers Award.

This past fall while visiting Lee Briggs classroom at Toki Middle School in Madison, Wisconsin, I was inspired by how he had created different learning certifications for the tools he has in his classroom. It took me several months and some great shared resources to create my own version for our 3D printers.
I also focused on four design programs that we use - Tinkercad, Cookiecad, Morphi, and Makers Empire so that designers would learn how to create and not just find and print other designer files. The certification consists of ten 5 minute or less videos. Upon completion of the certification, designers earn $10 towards their design budget for our classroom.

This week was the start of semester 2 and the opportunity to reintroduce the Glowforge to my designers. This time I created an Edpuzzle introduction (an edited version is below without our login).
Glowforge Design Challenges
Previous challenges include acrylic jewelry, leather bracelet, wood ornament, and a name snowflake. Below is the youtube playlist that will continue to be developed.
