In this one time class learners will be introduced to TinkerCad 3d Design software. We will learn the basics of manipulating shapes in TinkerCad and how to export a file to be 3D printed. The class will begin with introductions, teacher demonstration (during which learners can follow along with the teacher). The class will end with time for questions and tinkering a simple house unique to each learner. Mrs. Fimbel's teaching style is very easy going and learners are encouraged to ask questions and try things out. Please note: Some learners may need parental assistance during this class. Here is a list of skills a learner will need to be successful: Learner will need to manipulate a mouse to click and drag shapes using both the left and right mouse button. learner will need to be able to understand what arrow keys are and where they are located. learner will need to know how to mute and unmute themselves. learner may be invited to share their screen. Please make sure that any windows that are not necessary for this class are closed prior to logging in to the classroom. And the learner knows how to use the screen share feature.
Learning Goals
Learners will be able to manipulate shapes in Tinkercad to create a simple house.

Parental Guidance
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).
Supply List
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.
