You could consider doing a mini hackathon with the kids whereby the aim is to create a board game of some kind. Have the kids design the game on paper or card,then at the end use your cnc mill to create the boards, tiles, player pieces etc. You could then use the world cafe (https://toolbox.hyperisland.com/world-cafe) facilitation method for all the teams to explain their games to each other and recommend improvements. You could even show them how to use chatgpt to take their game ideas and flesh them out at a later stage (tutorial, rules etc.)

This idea would allow them to create something fun which is their own, that they can keep in the classroom and play with. It may also make them think of what other games they can create in the future.
