Description: 

3D printing with BlocksCAD

Learn how to design awesome 3D objects using BlocksCAD, a software program that combines 3D modeling with block-based coding for an easy to use and educational experience. Students will learn to write programs to create their models, practice their 3D geometry skills, learn to use a 3D printer and get two of their designs printed that they can take home. Grades 3-5


Weekly Schedule

Week 1: Create a 3D model by adding shapes and moving them around.

Week 2: Make a design with rotated shapes, plus a 3D printer demo.

Weeks 3 & 4: Learn to subtract shapes, and create two new models using all skills learned so far.

Week 5 & 6: The 3D printer will be back one of these weeks as we start printing student designs. Students will start their own creative designs.

Week 7: Finish up the creative design model, and learn how to present their design for the week 8 showcase.

Week 8: Showcase! Students will each present their favorite design, telling what they made and how they made it. The 3D printer will be there. Parents are welcome.

Material Fee: $35 Payable to: BlocksCAD
