Project Timeline
May 2025 - Current
OVERVIEW
The STEAM Club has been working with Fairfax County to design new, tactile signs that display natural elements such as plants, animals, and other educational aspects of nature to put on the new park signs! So far, we have designed tactile signs that display lichen, poison ivy, a percussion frog, the frog life cycle, a millstone, a passalidae beetle, and a salamander. The STEAM Club has visited many parks across Fairfax County and Manassas to fully understand these specimen so we can display them accurately. Utilizing the Fab Lab's 3D scanning technology, we were able to obtain a detailed and textured 3D print of half of these elements. 3D sculpting software was also utilized to smooth over details and add lettering.
HighlightS
- Learning 3D Scanning Technology and post-processing techniques
- Researching various natural elements
- Experimenting with 3D printing and different filaments
