This text appears to be a guide for teaching a workshop or class on creating custom 3D printed dolls with interactive electronics. The guide outlines three sessions, each covering a different aspect of the project: sculpting and modeling, preparing and printing the parts, and assembling and decorating the doll. Here are some key points from the guide: **Session 1: Sculpting** * Students will learn how to use software such as Meshmixer and Make Human to create a 3D model of their doll. * The instructor should have basic familiarity with Meshmixer. * The session is expected to take at least 4 hours. **Session 2: 3D prep & printing** * Students will learn how to prepare their 3D models for printing using software such as Meshmixer and Aspera. * They will also learn how to print the parts using a 3D printer or a printing service. * The session is expected to take at least 4 hours. **Session 3: Assembly and Adding electronics** * Students will learn how to assemble their dolls, including painting, decorating, and adding hair, costumes, and eyes. * They will also learn how to add interactive electronics using Arduino IDE and soldering. * The session is expected to take at least 4 hours. The guide also provides tips for the instructor, such as: * Focus on printing custom parts first, as they may need to be tweaked and re-printed. * Use a very thin gauge wire for the electronics. * Consider using pre-programmed microcontrollers or skipping them altogether for younger students. In addition, the guide includes a list of software and equipment required for each session, as well as a bill of materials for the electronics session. The instructor is also encouraged to provide a design brief to students at the start of the project and to have students produce a written report on their process and what they learned throughout the project. Overall, this guide appears to be a comprehensive resource for teaching a workshop or class on creating custom 3D printed dolls with interactive electronics.
