I teach Design Technology & Engineering to 11-19 year olds in the United Kingdom. I trawl the Internet for projects to laser cut and show to students for inspiration. Thingiverse, Instructables, Makezine, Inventables, Core77, Ponoko, Shapeways (etc.) are so cool. I try to refer to them as much as possible but access is invariably somewhat restricted by our netnanny.
I like exploring possibilities with materials such as (edge lit)acrylic, polypropylene, 3mm mdf and 4 mm plywood. I'd love to get a 3D printer into school sooner rather than later.
My published designs may not always be orginals but we all learn from eachother and I always try to give credit where it's due. End of mission statement. ;-)
