TinkerCAD Semester of Engineering and 3D Designing (ages 8-12)

In this 10-week design course, learners will gain confidence in using Autodesk's beginner CAD drawing program TinkerCAD.  The focus of this course will be on individual growth as designers, engineers, and artists.  The course is split into two sections, the first half focusing on each individual's design skills with a new design challenge each week.  Then the last 5 weeks will be focused on creating a larger project such as a space station, moon base, city, or zoo.  We will discuss the engineering design process and put it into practice. 

Although there is structure to this course, I believe honoring learner's interest is the best way to teach them, so from time to time we may deviate from the course outline to follow student interests.  For example, if the building prompt is vehicles and a learner wants to build a bird, I would encourage the learner to build their bird utilizing the skills we would otherwise use to build a vehicle.  By honoring student choice my classes run smoothly and learners are more engaged in their projects.  If this is an issue for your learner, please message me before enrolling.
