Your kid will become an inventor this week as they create their own 3D models in Tinkercad, practice spatial visualization, learn the engineering design process and SEL skills. At the end of the week, they will have a project 3D printed!
Class experience
Your kid will learn how to create their own 3D models in Tinkercad, practice spatial visualization, and use 3D printers. The skill of spatial visualization has been shown to be beneficial in all STEM fields, as it helps kids imagine molecules in chemistry, piece together geometric proofs, and aid engineering design thinking. This is the perfect course for kids that love invention, art, design, animation, video games, engineering, thinking creatively or are otherwise interested in 3D...
Kids will learn about additive design, 3D printing, subtractive design, how to visualize 3D space, the engineering design process, measurement, alignment, mirroring, units and creativity. They will also be able to identify all the components of the engineering design cycle and will learn the basic anatomy of a 3D printer and the key design features to print a good design. In addition, every lesson will include a different social emotional skill such as perseverance, goal setting and precision.
Maria is extremely passionate about robotics and computer science education and loves working with kids to help instill this passion. She will be a student at MIT this Fall and has worked as a volunteer and teaching assistant at Build a Robot K12 for the past 2 summers. She is a member of the National Center of Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) and works with middle school and high school students to teach them about Information Technology. She was part of her school’s BEST Robotics team where they took first place in their local hub and went on to compete at regionals. She plans to continue her studies in computer science by exploring the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence where she hopes to make an impact in the fields of science and robotics. We are excited to have her join us for yet another Summer!
