K-12 Maker Project Tutorial: Paper Lanterns
Set the mood in your classroom, or for warm summer nights, with paper lanterns. Cut out shapes or text on any kind of paper, and fold it up into a bag.  Then illuminate it with light from inexpensive LED tea-lights. We’ll demonstrate vector art techniques and show you how to create the lanterns on the Cricut or other craft cutter. This starter project can be adapted for holidays and events throughout the year.

K-12 Maker Project Tutorial: Clothespin Characters
Check this project out - 3D print an articulated character or thing, then animate it with the motion of a clothespin.  Want more?  Let's add an LED circuit and see it light up when it moves.  We’ll explain the 3D design techniques, show the mechanical assembly, and go through the electric circuit.  This is a great starter project that can build skills and ideas for an engaging classroom project!
