Introduction to Coding and 3D Design! (Elementary)

In this course, students will use computer science and math skills to create 3D objects using BlocksCAD. We will cover basic coding topics like loops and variables and 3D geometry vocabulary such as sphere, cube, and cylinder. The class structure has the students hands-on creating their own objects as our instructor is teaching. Students will be interacting with the instructor and classmates. After learning the basics, students are able to expand and use their own creativity for projects (we find most students like to spend time outside of class on their projects. There is no prior experience necessary. Students will be using BlocksCAD and will receive usernames and passwords prior to the start of the class.
