Most people like blowing bubbles! The bubbles you blow are made when soap and water are mixed together and air is blown into the mixture.
The outside of a bubble has three layers like an Oreo! There is a layer of soap, a layer of water, and another layer of soap. All of this is outside of the air you blow into it. The layer of water slowly evaporates, making the outside get thinner and thinner. Finally, the bubble pops!
The bubbles you see are usually round. However, bubbles can be made into many shapes by using wands. You can make square bubbles, triangle bubbles, and many other shapes.

You can see pretty colors in bubbles because light reflects off the walls of the bubble. The reflected light goes to your eyes. As the bubble gets thinner you will see different colors.
Soap bubbles are not the only bubbles there are. There are bubbles in other liquids. Sometimes you see bubbles on water. There are also bubbles in soda. Soap bubbles are special because they float on air.
Can you think of other bubbles?
Can you think of other things that are filled with air like bubbles?

The Challenge:
Can You Design A Bubble Wand That Works and Has Structural Integrity?
Design a bubble wand for a toy company you've just been hired for. It will need to have structural integrity, and be able to create multiple bubbles with the shapes you have used.
Criteria and Constraints:
● The 2D design must be included with labels and measurements in millimeters (mm).
● The bubble wand needs to have structural integrity.
● The bubble wand must be able to create multiple bubbles.
● The bubble wand needs to be designed with Makers Empire (3D modeling software) and printed on the 3D printer.
● The bubble wand needs to have structural integrity.
● The bubble wand must be able to create multiple bubbles.
● The bubble wand needs to be designed with Makers Empire (3D modeling software) and printed on the 3D printer.
What Is Structural Integrity?
Structural integrity is the ability of a structure to retain its strength, function, and shape under a load without breaking or deforming.
Which 3D model has better structural integrity? Why?

Makers Empire 3D is a 3D modeling computer program. It teaches students the basics in 3D printing and 3D design using the Design Thinking Process.
We are going to begin working in the Makers Empire app today. We will start by creating a hero avatar of ourselves.
