We created our CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) toys by using Adobe Illustrator, laser cutting, and hand-building to using Adobe Illustrator, laser cutting, and hand-building to create the parts like the box, cam parts (crank, follower, etc), as well as our own character, to tell a story. We will share and present our projects and tell the story to second-grade students from the Elementary. Being one of the more creative projects for Design, we found that customizing to try and make it function correctly was the biggest priority and toughest challenge. This led to using our own imagination everywhere else in the project (color, character, style, story, etc.). You can see a student’s personality just by looking at their project.
