3D Design Bobbleheads Identity and Expression

I’m super proud of this 3D design unit I created and the end products my kids produced in house. The idea of this unit was for students to look at their family history and design a 3D printed head for a bobblehead chess piece as part of a class set for an ancestry mapping company. I made the chess board to accompany the pieces and we have outside judges (including preschool kids) give blind feedback to make it even more authentic. In the first rotation of this unit my students did very well, learned a ton, and had fun doing it.

At the time of writing, the next iteration of this unit is already underway and we are all learning from past mistakes and finding ways to improve.
