I print for middle schoolers all the time! Marvin and sharkz are always a hit! Also, try printing some of those low poly Pokemon, kids won't stop bugging you for more!

I think the Sharkz http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:910216 are cool as well

I was going to suggest Marvin as well - kids seem to love him. I was giving them away to kids that could solve a 3d printed puzzle at the farmers market last summer. He is a quick print that does better when printing more than one at a time, too.

Really there are so many possibilities

A bit trite but there is the classic Maker faire Maker Day Robot.

and the 3D hubs Marvin Key Chain

How are your design skills. You could use 123D to make a simple key fob with the name of the school mascot. or find a 3d file of the animal resembling the school mascot.
You want to get real crazy get a list of the kids names (first name or nickname only) and make custom key fobs with there names KISS.
Hope this helps

I have been ask to show a group of 35 or so 7th and 8th graders. I would like to print something so that they can each take a small print home. I am going to print them before hand. Any suggestions on small not too much filament used per piece that is also somewhat cool to give to each of them?
