Teaching Tools Series: Caliper Practice Block
So, I teach PLTW Gateway courses (Design & Modeling and Automation & Robotics). In Design & Modeling (DM), I teach students to use calipers as a precise and accurate measuring tool.

I have 2cm interlocking blocks that come with the curriculum materials for PLTW, but I wanted something with larger and more varied dimensions for the students to measure. I also wanted the object to cause students to use the different tools that are on the caliper.
So, I created this:
I printed several of them out on an Ultimaker 2 and I use them to assess my students' caliper skills or give them extra practice.
