TinkerCAD Academy

Part 3: Creating Something in TinkerCAD

Objectives:

  • Students should be familiar with the basics of creation and navigation in TinkerCAD

  • Students should have a few projects completed from tutorial

Teacher/Parent Prep:

The students should choose a lesson to work through from the TinkerCAD lessons.  You could either assign them a lesson, or choose three topics and give them a choice of the three.  You could make it open ended, but your students might spend too much time deciding which lesson to work through. You may want to have your students choose one lesson with less than 10 steps, and then move onto one lesson with more than 10 steps.
