Announcing the SchoolCraft3D Winners!
February MicroProject Winners!
Last month’s challenge was to design your dream school in 3D. And your creativity and technical skills really showed!
Our Grand Prize
Earning the MicroProject Winner Badge and a $60 gift card to Best Buy is Digital Me from Price Mouse Squad in San Jose, California. His school is a series of domes containing a theater, an aquarium and a library as well as classrooms and a cafeteria. It even has an outdoor basketball court! We love the futuristic look and how big each of these domes are on the inside. Send an .STL file to [email protected] and we'll print your project!
Check out Digital Me's project here!
Our First Runner Up
Our first runner up, and winner of a RadioShack DIY Kit, goes to hsoli16 from The MOUSE Squad at the Staten Island School for Civic Leadership in New York. Robo School receives a runner up award because... well, because who doesn't want to go to school in a giant robot?! Ok, really, we're giving him this honor because it's a very detailed design, is 3D printable and his squad actually printed one out and included the video in the submission. Super cool time lapse!
Check out their project here!
Our Second Runner Up
Also receiving a RadioShack DIY Kit is karim (a previous MicroProject winner) from Wagner Middle School in New York City. Karim created (with the help of his brother) a gigantic Minecraft school with basketball courts, a diving area and a working mine cart ride to take you from place to place.
