Beginner Level
If you can dream it, you can build it! This class is designed for beginners, and no prior experience is required! Each week, we will explore the creation of a different 3D model, building it step by step together. Students are encouraged to unleash their creativity by choosing colors and making personal modifications to the models. We will be using the free website Tinkercad, so please create an account and log in before class starts. Throughout the sessions, I will share my screen, allowing students to follow along. It’s essential for students to have two screens, so they can see my screen and work on their projects simultaneously. Tentative Schedule: Week of Oct 7: Box Week of Oct 14: Keychain Week of Oct 21: Cat Week of Oct 28: Fish Students are welcome to suggest topics for upcoming weeks. Basic computer skills are required for this class, including knowing how to share your screen on Zoom or having a second screen for Zoom.
