On Wednesday March 17th, Hawk Ridge Systems engineer Vince Farrell got the amazing opportunity to talk about engineering to Mrs. Farrell’s 4th grade class at Lincoln Elementary School in Burlingame, CA. He presented on SOLIDWORKS and 3D Printing.
Naturally 3D Printing got the attention of the students and the questions started rolling in of what is actually possible to print? A few quotes:
“Can you print yourself, can you edit yourself for big muscles and a six pack?” –Alex Sogas
“Can you print San Francisco, the actual size of it?” – Jacob Wilkinson
“Can you print a heart?” – Kristen De Mesa
A few of the other amazing ideas the students had to print was:
- F-35 Plane
- Stephen Curry
- Life sized version of my family
- Puppy
- Giant flying machine with a paradise island and a waterfall and Jacuzzis at the bottom
- Puzzles
- Roller skates
- Houses and building for people to stay at so they wouldn’t have travel as far and be away from their families as much
- Baseball
- Myself
- More 3D Printers
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- My own army
- A baseball with all the signatures of the Giants baseball team!
- Volleyball or a kitten
- A big house
- Flower
- My dog, Lola
- Hawaii
- Basketball or a Minecraft version of Stephen Curry
- Giant toy structure
It amazed me how creative these kids’ ideas were on what they could print, what out there is actually possible to be printed!
