Mobile phone stands.. and more

In a slightly crazy way I decided I would try to do a 3D printing project with a whole class (rather than just a few students at a time)… I say crazy because I gave them a fair bit of freedom to choose what they wanted to design…. I pointed them in the direction of the Teaching and Learning resources on the BfB Wiki http://wiki.bitsfrombytes.com/index.php/Teaching_Resources and off they went. So, I have students designing for Clip-it, Keep it Safe, and Mobile Mate all at the same time.

Just to show some of the first prints from this group the pictures are of some mobile phone stands (funny how popular this project is). These are surprisingly elegant solutions for 13 year olds. More pictures will follow when we have printed some more projects.
