The materials in this section are made for teachers, but students should feel free to browse them as well.

Lesson Plans:

Kirsten Wojtowicz (kwojtowicz@ArkCharter.org) and Louis Martinelli: From Virtual Pyramids to Paper Pyramids in a 6th grade Math Class
Kirsten Wojtowicz (kwojtowicz@ArkCharter.org) and Christina Wiegers (wiegec@rpi.edu): From virtual pyramids to 3D sculptures (with special thanks to Larry Ruff in the AML!!)

6th grade students from the Ark Community Charter School created virtual Mayan pyramids, which were then sent to the rapid prototype device at RPI’s Advanced Manufacturing Lab to generate these solid models.
