Students at Grand Avenue Middle School were tasked with designing 3D printed creations that later turned into a gift for Cohen's Children's Hospital in New Hyde Park.
William Feihel, an eighth-grade student that had heart surgery, first designed and 3D printed 20 keychains during the holidays and gifted them to hospital staff.
“This represents me because that is where I got my heart surgery when I was an infant,” Feihel explained.
Feihel drew inspiration from Keith Haring’s ‘Barking Dog’ to make his Tinker Cad creation.
“I created words and holes before making 3”x3” rings round it to group it all together in the program,” he added.
Jake Guarino, also an eighth grader, later designed a gold GAMS school logo that technology teacher Michelle Biancardo replicated into 60 keychain-sized prints as gifts for hospital staff and patients.
