3D Design - Tinkercad Private Lessons!

In this ongoing class, we will cover the process of engineering design and explore how Tinkercad can be used to create 3D designs that solve engineering problems. Each week we will discover a new facet of engineering design including:

- Defining the Problem - Engineers define a specific problem so they do not over or under design for the situation at hand
- Research What Others Have Done - Designers look at how other designers have solved similar problems and utilize that as a springboard for their designs.
- Check the Specifications - Engineers look at specific requirements for sizes of design elements from many different sources, including laws, design guidebooks, and industry leaders' publications.
- Brainstorming and Choosing a Solution - Every engineer uses a team to help decide which solution best solves the problem.
- Drafting the Design - Here is where Tinkercad comes in!
- Build and Test the Design - Get your 3D printer ready or send your design off to a 3D printing specialist!
- Back to the Drawing Board - See how your design met or failed to meet the expectations. Now you get to modify to improve your design!

Each class will be independent of the other and be catered to the individual student's needs, abilities, interests, and time commitment.
