Then, the students were divided into small teams and the visions were introduced to other team members (the focus was on technological objects). Next, every team introduced their best idea to the rest of the class using “Padlet”. Finally, every team visioned their ideas on a paper and modelled them using the 3D printer and the Cura program.
