Day 5 – Remix and Improve
CapstoneGoal: Apply your learning by remixing or improving your model.
Quick laugh: Today is your “director’s cut” — same idea, better version.
Objectives
- Create and apply meaningful design improvements ( Evidence: Remix ideas + final summary).
- Document how your final version changed from the original ( Evidence: Changes Made from Original field).
- Reflect on your design process and your next version plan ( Evidence: Final reflection responses).
Success Criteria
- I can explain at least three intentional design improvements.
- I can show clear differences between my original and final version.
- I can propose next-step improvements based on what I learned this week.
Steps
Instructional Flow: Learn (review + remix plan) → Practice (Day 5 activity log) → Submit (Before You Submit Checklist + Copy Day Notes).
- Step 1: Choose Remix Direction (7 min)
Assignment: Choose one: remix a model from Printables.com or improve your previous design. - Step 2: Redesign in Tinkercad (15 min)
Assignment: Modify or redesign in Tinkercad, then record ideas in List three changes or remix ideas. - Step 3: Export and Capture Evidence (8 min)
Assignment: Export the final STL file, then take a screenshot of your new model. - Step 4: Complete and Submit Final Work (10 min)
Assignment: Complete Final Design Summary, Final Reflection, and Before You Submit Checklist, then insert your final STL filename/link plus screenshot into your Digital Notebook Day 5 entry. STL note: upload file to Google Classroom, log filename/link in Notebook.
Deliverable: Final STL filename/link, screenshot, and reflection paragraph in your Digital Notebook (STL file uploaded to Google Classroom).
Day 5 Activity Log
Guidance: Show growth from your first design. Explain what changed and why those changes improve function or quality.

Final Reflection
1. What is one design decision you changed during this project, and how did that improve your final print?
2. What would your next version include, and what steps would you take to make it print successfully?
