What educators are saying
Description
Have you been wanting to try 3D Printing with Tinkercad with your students but have no idea where to start? This starter kit has everything you need to teach your students how to use Tinkercad and provides 3 leveled prompts to practice their new skills. Great for beginners!
DESCRIPTION
3D printing is the process of making three-dimensional objects from a digital file. This assignment is an introduction to 3D printing with TinkerCAD, a free and easy to use web-based tool. It will give your students the skills to design basic 3D objects for printing. If you do not have access to a 3D printer, your students can still design 3D models and save the design as an image file to turn in.
ISTE Standards:
- Innovative Designer: 4d - Students exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problems.
- Creative Communicator: 6b - Students create original works or responsibly repurpose or remix digital resources into new creations. 6d - Students publish or present content that customizes the message and medium for their intended audiences.
- Global Collaborator: 7c - Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal (if done in pairs or small groups).
Vocabulary:
- Workplane
- Axes
- Scale
- Pan
- Handle
- Rotate
- Align
- Group
- Export
- Filament
To familiarize students with the 3D workplane, guide them through the practice task. The practice task is designed to be a simple activity for students with no prior experience working with a 3D workplane. After completing the practice task, students will be able to place, scale, move, and group shapes while viewing a design from multiple angles.
The challenge cards are designed to allow students to explore the concept of 3D Modeling. Each challenge results in a design that can be printed, however printing is not required if you do not have access to a 3D printer. Students can instead share the design file with you online for your review.
