The SnowFlake Challenge - Making an Artifact

If you've been following along with the 3 previous post, you are ready to MAKE SOMETHING fun with your SNOWFLAKE  design. 

• Code You Can Touch - Snow Flake Challenge
• The SnowFlake Challenge Part 1 of 2
• The Snowflake Coding Challenge Part 2 of 2

In the last post we showed you how to take your Snowflake design from SCRATCH and convert it to an SVG file.

Once you have it as an SVG file you can choose your favorite maker tool to create something meaningful from the design you coded.

Many schools and libraries have electronic cutters like the CRICUT and SILHOUETTE cutter. These can be used to cut paper, vinyl, fabric, and much more.  

This video walks you through the steps you need to use your SNOWFLAKE svg file to create something with an electronic cutter like these ornaments.

I even got to create some new earrings 

on faux Suede cut on the Cricut

using my coded snowflake.

If you have access to a laser cutter, you could cut your design or etch your design on acrylic and insert it into a LED base to create a special night light.   

If you have access to a 3D printer, you can import your SVG file into TinkerCad
Adjust the size and send it to your 3D printer. 

So many possibilities!

And don't forget, you can always submit a photo of your SnowFlake Artifact

to our Code SnowFlake Challenge for a chance to win 

an LED nightlight with your SnowFlake Design.
