Targeting Cleanliness

A group of fifth grade students has come up with a creative solution to a common bathroom problem: too much urine on the floor around the urinals. They spent some time tracking the severity of this problem with their data-tracker and then interviewed our school janitors. After brainstorming, they decided to design a 3D-printed urinal target shaped like a soccer goal. By making the bathroom experience more fun and engaging, the target encourages better aim, significantly reducing the mess on the floor. These students learned how to use TinkerCad and Bambu Studio to design their project, and they brought their idea to life using a Bambu 3D printer. Their innovative solution not only solved a problem in their school but also gave them hands-on experience with 3D design and printing technology, demonstrating how creativity and teamwork can lead to practical, real-world solutions
