3D model description

Rather than just designing a boat -we created a modular playset for anyone to create their own design and explore the properties of buoyancy. Let your child tinker, make from their imaginations, and actually LEARN with Maker Jr.!

In this set, your child can learn about buoyancy and learn to make a boat that floats! The

Thanks to MakerBot for supporting the #MakeItFloat challenge!

The example raft shown here is "the hexagon raft". It will support three US quarters; but this is a modular play set, so if you make your own raft, post a make and explore the properties of buoyancy. :D

Feel free to customize the design to fit your style. PLEASE share your makes and remixes!

Enjoy the first Maker Jr. play set!
