This activity is part of the FabConnectHer project, dedicated to empowering future female innovators by providing inspiration, skills, and networks to make a meaningful impact in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) through education, reemployment, or entrepreneurship. Designed as an Open Educational Resource (OER), it offers educators the flexibility to reuse, adapt, and tailor the lesson to a variety of subjects and classroom needs, ensuring accessibility and versatility for diverse learning environments.
The Quiz Board activity engages students in learning about electrical circuits while integrating laser cutting, 3D printing, and creativity by having them design and assemble interactive quiz boards using recycled materials, enhancing their understanding of various school subjects through hands-on experimentation and peer collaboration.
Technology Integration: Explore innovative teaching dynamics using technology. Enhance knowledge in specific school subjects through a hands-on approach. Develop creative and critical thinking through technology integration in classroom dynamics.
Hands-on Learning: Utilize laser cutting and simple electronics to create an interactive quiz board.
Basic Electronics: Learn about simple circuits, LED functionality, and polarity concepts.
Creative Building: Transition from 2D laser cutting to 3D assembly. Familiarize with 3D printing from pre-designed files. Employ Canva for customizing quiz themes.
Sustainnability: Promote sustainability by using recycled materials.
The “Quiz Board” activity embodies the spirit of inquiry-based and experiential learning. It challenges students to think critically, solve problems, and work collaboratively—essential skills for the 21st century. The use of digital fabrication not only familiarizes learners with modern technology but also empowers them to create reusable tools for learning.
As an open educational resource, the activity promotes sustainability and accessibility, ensuring its benefits extend beyond the initial session. This reflection highlights the transformative potential of Maker Education in fostering lifelong learners who are innovative, adaptable, and socially responsible.
Use the downloadable file to laser-cut the quiz board components. 3D print the battery holder using the provided file.
Preferably choose reused cardboard to laser cut the quiz board with this file.
Students are introduced to the activity by selecting topics and reviewing the materials and tools they will use. This step sets the stage for collaborative learning and familiarization with the process. Instructions:
Students will follow guided steps to construct their quiz boards and integrate the necessary electronics.The activity is adapted for different age groups to ensure appropriate complexity.
