Learners will need parents to set up a Tinkercad account for them on Tinkercad.com TinkerCAD is COPPA Compliant resource see this article for more information: https://blog.tinkercad.com/2013/07/30/whats-up-with-education-accounts. If a temporary account is needed while waiting for a parent-approved account for kids under 13 please message me for information. These temporary accounts will be deleted without notice frequently to ensure student safety and to comply with Outschool standards.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Please note that TinkerCad has a search feature where you can search a library of models created by other people. This library may contain items inappropriate for your child. Please discuss with your learner what to do if they come across something in appropriate in the search, or let them know they should not use the search feature without your supervision. In this younger version of the class I do not always demonstrate this feature. However, if a learner specifically asks about it I will show how to use it to search for something cool and appropriate (usually flames or cats).
