Creation of signs with the names of classes and signs with the names of cultivated crops.

The focus of the target group

The project will be implemented by 6th and 7th grade students. Students of all grades will use the signs at their flower beds.

Necessary knowledge and skills

Pupils have to translate crop names into English using the Google Translate server. Next, they have to find images of the selected plants and convert them to SVG format. Students must be able to create an object in TinkerCad, group objects, align objects to a common axis, enter text, import an object into a project. In art education, they have to color the signs correctly (especially the crop model).

Project objectives

The class labels make it clear how the beds are assigned to individual classes. Thanks to the crop labels, students can better connect the name of the crop directly to the crop. Pupils will also practice many skills: finding and translating many words from Czech to English, finding and downloading images of crops, converting images from png (jpg, ...) to SVG format, modeling a 3D object in TinkerCad, importing an SVG object into TinkerCad, knowledge of various crops grown on Czech flowerbeds. Signs created in this way can be quickly printed if necessary, and thus an unusable piece can be replaced.

Required equipment

Common computer room equipment, 3D printer, painting supplies for coloring signs.

Project time schedule

1st lesson – introduction + translation of crop names

2nd - 3rd lesson - finding and downloading pictures of crops

4th - 6th lesson - editing images and converting them to SVG format

7-th8 lesson - Sign modeling in TinkerCad.com

9th lesson – setting up printing and splicing + time to print signs

10th - 11th lesson - coloring signs

Workflow

1st lesson

Pupils connect to Google Translate. They will then search for the names of the selected crops and write them into a word processor. Then, with the help of the teacher, students print the created list for later use when entering names in TinkerCad.

2nd - 3rd lesson - finding and downloading pictures of crops

Pupils search for images of crops on the Pixabay.com server and download them to a previously created folder on their computer's HDD.

4th - 6th lesson - editing images and converting them to SVG format

Pupils will use Gimp to edit crop images as needed. They will then convert them to SVG format.

7-8th lesson - Sign modeling in TinkerCad.com

Pupils s who will implement this part of the project are already familiar with the basics of working in the TinkerCad.com modeling application. In this application, they first create labels with the Czech and English names of crops. Next, he creates a pin for sticking the sign. The third step is to import the SVG crop model into the TinkerCad project. At the end, all parts of the sign are centered along the axis of the pin and merged into one object (model).

9th lesson – setting up printing and splicing + time to print signs

The teacher will check the prepared models, combine the models into one file, perform slicing and preparation for printing. Printing will be done.

10th - 11th lesson - coloring signs

Pupils color the signs during the art lesson.
