Tic Tac Toe

The Tic-Tac-Toe project introduces students to the world of gamification in learning. First, they will learn 3D modelling skills by recreating traditional Tic-Tac-Toe playing pieces. Then they will put their imaginations to the test to design and model their own custom playing pieces. Once the pieces have been 3D printed, students can play games of Tic-Tac-Toe against their peers, and in doing so, study strategy, resilience, probability and many more key subject areas.
