3D Modeling with Tinkercad

Dear students and families,

The 3/4 blnded and 4th grade classrooms wrapped up trimester 1 with some 3D modeling on Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a free web-based 3D modeling program. We used the student version of Tinkercad that can be accessed via Project Ignite. Project Ignite gives guided tutorials on Tinkercad projects. The students started off by creating a model of a button that can be worn on a shirt or sweater. From here, the kids learned the basics of creating 3D models in Tinkercad, and went on to create all kinds of designs. Eventually we hope to be able to use Tinkercad to print some 3D objects in our CubePro Duo 3D printers, Check out some of the cool designs the kids created in Tinkercad below!
