Make an Assistive Bottle Open to Support Users with Arthritis – 3D Printing Lesson Plan

The first upload to PrintLab Classroom in May is a creative lesson called 'Make an Assistive Bottle Opener'. In this 2 part lesson, students will create a bottle opener, which can help users with arthritis or a weak grip to open screw cap bottles. The lesson teaches about the concepts of simple machines and lever principles, before students design their models in Tinkercad software. The models are 3D printed, tested, analysed and can be improved in an iterative process.
