Lesson 3
3D Printer Drone
Students learn about and discuss the past and the future of technology in construction. Then, they work through a real-life case study using the Engineering Design Process (EDP). During the activity, they code Hopper to simulate 3D printing a hollow rectangular prism with a square base.
Learning Objectives
-Participate in a group discussion working through the Engineering Design Process to envision the possible future of technology in construction.
-Accurately code Hopper to print a 3D structure in a simulation with the use of a loop.
-Use the Engineering Design process (EDP) and STEM practices to redesign Hopper’s code as needed.
