The 6th Grade Medieval Faire

Every year, our 6th graders put on a medieval faire. This year, some of them are making use of the FabLab to create items for the roll they are playing.

This young man is going to be a blacksmith. 

He needed the laser cutter to create part of his bellows

We found a 3D Ballista to print.

One of the surgeons needed instruments. So she traced them, scanned them...

Copied over them in Inkscape...

And laser cut them out of wood.

Students also make games, shields, swords and signs.

Here's a shield right out of the laser cutter...

...and after some work at home...it even has handles on the back.
