Wayfinding model of the school
Build a scale model of the campus that helps a new student find their way. Each group makes one building from plans; the class assembles the site. Labels, colour and a legend make it a map, not just a model.

Trophies and awards
Design an award for a real event at the school and make a run of them, combining laser-cut structure, a 3D-printed figure or feature, and a UV-printed plate. A product, not a one-off.

Artifact display, curated
Mount one object on the wall the way a museum would. A 3D-printed mount designed around the object, a cut-vinyl label beside it, and a composition that makes people stop and read.

A parametric photo frame
Five user parameters drive a 3D-printable frame. Change the width and height and the frame rebuilds for a 4×6, an 8×10 or a 200 mm square without touching the sketch.
