This artwork has been created and printed by students aged 14-15 from the IISS GADDA LANGHIRANO Secondary School. The activity was conducted as part of the Erasmus+ project PRINT STEM, which can be found at www.printstemproject.eu, and received funding support from the Italian National Agency INDIRE. Pre-requisites for this project include a solid understanding of geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, circumferences, and arcs; concepts related to area, volume, and perimeter; proficiency in drawing geometric shapes using CAD software or manually; and experience with teamwork. The educational objective of this activity was to apply mathematical and geometric proportion and fraction concepts, compare and analyze various geometric figures, enhance CAD skills, and foster team collaboration. To create the 3D object, students employed the golden ratio for its base and the Fibonacci sequence for its height.
