Purpose of the Model:
The purpose of this 3D-printed road model is to support 5th-grade students in Aruba as they prepare for their traffic exam (Verkeersexamen). By offering a realistic miniature environment, complete with roads, intersections, traffic signs, and pedestrian crossings, the model helps students better understand traffic rules and situations they may encounter in real life.

Classroom Use:
Teachers can use the model during lessons to visually explain traffic concepts, simulate real-world scenarios, and engage students in role-playing activities. Students can take turns navigating toy cars or figures through the model using instruction cards about real traffic situations, allowing them to apply what they’ve learned in a practical, hands-on way. This interactive approach encourages participation and reinforces learning through experience.

Need It Satisfies:
Many students struggle to grasp traffic rules through textbooks or lectures alone. This model addresses that gap by providing a tangible learning tool that enhances comprehension and memory. It also helps students feel more confident and better prepared for their traffic exam. For educators, it serves as an engaging teaching aid that makes abstract traffic concepts easier to understand and teach.
