Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(175)
In this 4 week club style class learners will have the chance to share their current TinkerCad projects and learn about the engineering design process as they create new projects in a fun and interactive way.

Class experience

Learners will become familiar with the engineering design process and gain confidence in working as a team and sharing their work with others. 
After 11 years of teaching I have become skilled at redirecting students when accidental inappropriate comments have been made during brainstorming or internet searching.  
Additionally, I have been working specifically with TinkerCad for about 4 years with students at my brick and mortar school in an interdisciplinary enrichment class.  I have also presented about using Tinkercad to the Texas Computer Educators Association in February 2020 as part of a workshop highlighting our Game design project. 
Homework Offered
Each week we will have some kind of design challenge that we will work on during class after reviewing the previous weeks designs. Learners are encouraged to continue the work at home on their own time to complete their design for the next week's sharing session.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Informal assessments from the teacher and peer feedback via the Harvard Protocol.
Grades Offered
Learners will need an Individual TinkerCad account from TinkerCad.com.  It would be beneficial for learners to have a notebook to document their work.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
We will be utilizing TinkerCad 3D design software which includes a search function to search projects other designers have shared.  As with any search engine, I have no control over what learners will search for or what may come up.  Please discuss with your learners before class appropriate search terms and what to do in case something inappropriate should be returned unintentionally.  We will also discuss this in class. As an option we may use break out rooms.  If you would not like your learner to be part of a team using a break out room please inform me before the first class so I can make sure to plan accordingly.  
We will use individual accounts on Tinkercad.com  Students may wish to have a designers notebook or paper to hand sketch ideas, journal, or document progress.
