Pop Up Cards

Students will work individually or in groups to design a pop-up greeting card which creates layers and dimension using different colors of paper. They will use 2D modeling software and cut their component pieces on a laser cutter. Depending on prior maker experience, students may be given time to research card construction independently or presented with physical examples to start. Each student or group will present their work to the class, describing their design and decision making process verbally or through accompanying imagery and text. Cards may be evaluated on their aesthetics, functioning, durability, and relevant content standards. See below for more content-specific evaluation and presentation ideas.
