VeggieMake is fun & Too Good to Waste!
Delicious and nutritious VeggieMake candidates are thrown out every day. Did you know:
-Each year 2.9 trillion pounds of food never gets consumed.
-That’s about 1/3rd of all the food produced in the world and enough to feed 2 billion people.
-Of the food in our homes, fruits and vegetables are usually the first to be tossed out.
-Consuming ugly food can help reduce food waste, and help to protect the planet.
Head to your local produce store and stop this madness... Choose ugly or old produce and get VeggieMaking!

Notes:
The VeggieMake parts are optimized for 3D printing. Each part has a stable base and does not require support. The parts will print well on any desktop 3D printer, but we recommend 200um resolution or higher for best results. VeggieMake is designed for introducing students to 3D design. Customizing VeggieMake pins is a very simple way to understand designing process and 3D printing constraints. After students have developed the skills to design their own pins they can move on to creating custom VeggieMake parts. We have uploaded all of our parts including costomizable pins to Tinkercad to get you started! just search: VeggieMake
VeggieMake also makes a great teaching tool to discuss food waste and loving ugly foods. #toogoodtowaste
