Format
PLEASE NOTE: Students must have access to their own computer/tablet for this session.
1. Teacher will log in to the room 15 minutes prior to program start.
2. We will discuss what is 3D Modeling
3. We will discuss the Engineering and Design Process.
4. We will review Empathy in Design.
5. We will state the objectives to students. They will have the ability to choose one of the design challenges.
6. We will introduce Tinkercad to the students and the basic functions of the web-based software
7. Students will have time to design their creations and present them if they choose.
8. Conclusion./Questions
Objectives
Students will:
- Learn about 3D Printing Modeling
- Learn about the Engineering and Design Process
- Learn about Empathy in Design
- Gain skills in using the Tinkercad web-based software
