21stC maker education should include the 3 game changers: block coding, microcontrollers and at least some 5 types of machines found in a Fabrication Lab (Vinyl cutter, 3D Printer, Laser cutter, CNC machine & Digital Embroidery machine). Then we can move towards making almost anything, transforming consumers into producers.
One thing I have made using these technologies is a Sierpinski pyramid lamp. This involves maths (the fractal Sierpinski pyramid), 3D printing using transparent fiament and the Circuit Playground Express which is coded to light up the pyramid.
The possibilities are endless
