Coded Marble Mazes

I’m having my 7th grade class code some marble maze paths with a blocks coding website called Beetle Blocks. They download their path as 2D file in svg. I open it in Illustrator, increase the stroke width to 10 pt, then do Outline Stroke and save again as svg. I upload to Easel and they add in a start and finish pocket hole. Then we carve them on 2 color HDPE. They are really enjoying them. I would have them do the Illustrator part but it’s the end of the year and we don’t have time for them to get lost in the process.
