Here's what's on tap for November:
American Flag
This project has it all: a bit of math, valuable lessons in spatial thinking and planning, and use of color and components. You start with a schematic drawing of the American flag, and create its geometrically accurate SketchUp model.
Cutout from a Photo
If you've ever wanted to jump into a SketchUp model, here's the next best thing. All you need is a digital photo, and you can create a "cardboard cutout" component to stick in any model. Bonus: this cutout always faces you, so it doesn't look like it's 2D.
Cube Nets
I've worked with a lot of geometry teachers lately, and this is just the sort of thing they want to see. A cube can be "unfolded" into 11 nets. This project will show how to find all 11 distinct solutions, but you don't have to share the answers with your students till they've tried it themselves.
Feedback on our past projects was incredibly positive; I'm excited to see how these projects go over! Again, here's the link to sign up.

Have these been released? I don't see them in my Google Docs...
You should have gotten the email with the links yesterday - email me at bonnie@3dvinci.net and I'll see what's going on.
