Overview and Background

This activity is part of the educational innovation project IE25.6106, which aims to improve student attendance through the use of physical rewards distributed in the classroom when students complete certain activities. Critical courses or modules that were already gamified or structured as competitions were selected in order to distribute different tokens among the winners during the two academic years in which the initiative was carried out.

As a result, it was observed—both subjectively by the instructors and through anonymous surveys—that the inclusion of these physical elements motivated the students and improved attendance.

Materials Needed

In this project, the versions of the tokens generated using OpenSCAD from the remixed associated project are included, as well as the G-code files for printing them on an Ender-3 printer using PLA material in gold, silver, and copper colors.
