Amazing Mazes Design Challenge
Building 3D mazes is a great way to explore spatial concepts, solve problems and build structures while working within the design constraints provided. For today's task you will design and 3D print a maze that can be used with a 3mm ball bearing.
Click on the video above to learn about mazes and how they are made.
Then click on the G for Google to sign in with your Google ID.
After this return to the video above to learn how to create a maze using Makers Empire software. Now it's your turn to create your own maze. Remember to be creative and be sure that your tunnels are 4 mm (4 squares) wide so that a 3mm ball bearing can roll through it. |
