While brainstorming ideas for Maker starter projects with a seasonal slant, we played with the idea of 3D printing holiday ornaments. We wanted to make a project starter that was easy to do at an event like a Makerspace Open House, faculty meeting, or as a quick Maker skill builder that can be done in those flexible periods before winter break. This generator works by creating a shape that is then copied and rotated around the Z axis. You can adjust the shape, thickness, and number of copies to create ornaments with fins, ridges, smooth surfaces and more. The generator finishes the ornament with a cap and loop for hanging.

The CO2 Traffic Light will help to vent rooms at school, home, work to keep the aerosol concentrations low. We recommend to set the red light alert "must ventilate, open windows and doors" at 800ppm CO2. max 1000ppm. Follow your local government regulations. CO2 monitors are just a indicator for air quality, it will no protect you against virus or anything else. If you are not sure check resources on the principal of CO2 in breathing air and CO2 traffic lights in general. This is not meant to be a healthcare device or like. See this a foundation for STEM projects to work with sensor, IoT and learn about aerosols and CO2 impacting air quality indoors.

The Covid pandemic has meant that I’m in the house a lot more, and travel has been restricted/difficult to say the least. Since I’ve been more involved in video streaming technology professionally recently, I decided to build a project based off these techologies to relieve some of the cabin fever. The World Window shows a live webcam of various locations around the world, behind a real window frame. To change location, you can move the plane around a world map to pre-determined locations (lit by small LEDs) – the plane is magnetic to sticks to the map. In addition to this, there is another sensor that tracks your position in front of the frame, to give a false sense of perspective when moving around in front of the frame.
