FINAL COUNT (assuming the last set on the printers has no issues): 983! 25*25 (25 rows of 25 dinos) 23*10 (23 rows of 10 dinos) 16 (incomplete row) 46 (unique dinos that I will personally give away/keep!) Not pictured! 7*6 (7 printers, 6 dinos) 3*8 (3 printers, 8 dinos)

Here is another take. Notice we are still not done counting!

Ever wonder what 500 3D printed mini flexy T-Rex 🦖 looks like? Wonder no more!

If you want ANY CHANCE at one you have to position yourself at the beginning of the parade route. No matter how many times we ask the volunteers to spread them out they are always gone in the first few hundred feet.

And this time people won't think they were bottle openers! These little t-rex's are cool! More info here printables.com/model/46241-fl… and here github.com/DrLex0/print3D…

Not sure what the final count will be . . . 3D printers break down occasionally . . . but this is the estimate for @GilbertYourTown Gilbert Days Parade on Saturday. If we are lucky we will beat the 590 phone holders we had last year!

The kids are having fun with the PALS 3D Printing class at @PattersonPride! Thank goodness we have a @Prusa3D mini . . . the filament color changes are so much easier than the competition (at least that we have seen!).

Can anyone guess what this weeks activity is… l’ll give you a hint… it combines strategy, geometry, physics and brooms oh, did I mention it’s also played on ice… Some people also consider this Canada’s other national sport. #3Dprintedstones #bringingoutmycanadianroots

Oh, were you worried about the red ones? Worry no more!

120 tiny 3D printed curling stones? Wonder what they are for? Some lucky kids at @PattersonPride will find out soon!

Who says you can’t use #ozobots as Speed Skating. Going for gold!! 🏅🇺🇸

Final count for the phone holders representing @PattersonPride for the @GilbertYourTown parade is . . . 590 (probably since the last 20 are still printing!)! If you get a "platinum" one it was printed at Patterson Elementary in the maker space.

Three hundred! Yes 300! Panthers phone holders printed for the @GilbertYourTown Gilbert Days Parade! Think we can make it to 400 by Saturday?? 500? What do you think @PattersonPride?

Ready for our circuit workshop for 30 lucky kids in 4th grade! Above is 30 kits. Below is what's in a kit on the left and what we make on the right. Let us know you are interested and maybe your class can be next!

It begins with a box! #inquirycrew #azstemsummit #arizonasciencecenter

Make your dot… and see where it takes you!! Happy #InternationalDotDay

Mary Anning, the greatest fossil discoverer of them all, carefully uncovered a skeleton of the first Ichthyosaurs when she was 12 years old! Today one of the 4th grade classes became paleontologists and enjoyed their first fossil dig!
