Design Air Racer Cars Using Tinkercad
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students use the engineering design process to assemble an electric racer vehicle. After using Tinkercad to design blades for their racers, students print their designs using a MakerBot printer. Once the students finish assembly and install their vehicle’s air blades, they race their vehicles to see which design travels the furthest distance in the least amount of time. A discussion at the end of the activity allows students to reflect on what they learned and to evaluation the engineering design process as a group.

Design a Biome in TinkerCAD
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

In this lesson, students will embark on a journey of discovery by researching a specific biome of their choice, such as rainforests, deserts, or coral reefs. They will delve into the unique characteristics, flora, and fauna that define their chosen biome, gaining insights into its environmental challenges and adaptations. Using Tinkercad, students will then design and create a miniature 3D model representing their biome, incorporating elements like plants, animals, and geographical features. Through this hands-on activity, students will not only enhance their digital design skills but also deepen their understanding of ecosystems, biodiversity, and the delicate balance within different biomes. This lesson fosters creativity, scientific inquiry, and a holistic appreciation of the natural world in STEM education.

Design a Room in TinkerCAD
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Students are tasked with designing a room of their choice in TinkerCAD. After learning the basic tools and navigation from modeling objects, they can begin to model collections of objects enabling them to visualize and personalize their dream spaces. Experimenting with layout, furniture, and décor helps develop their spatial awareness and design skills. The lesson concludes with an (optional) presentation, where participants present their room designs and reflect on their creative decisions and practical layouts.

Redesigning a Classroom for the Visually Impaired
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students practice human-centered design by imagining, designing and prototyping a product to improve classroom accessibility for the visually impaired. To begin, they wear low-vision simulation goggles (or blindfolds) and walk with canes to navigate through a classroom in order to experience what it feels like to be visually impaired. Student teams follow the steps of the engineering design process to formulate their ideas, draw them by hand and using free, online Tinkercad software, and then 3D-print (or construct with foam core board and hot glue) a 1:20-scale model of the classroom that includes the product idea and selected furniture items. Teams use a morphological chart and an evaluation matrix to quantitatively compare and evaluate possible design solutions, narrowing their ideas into one final solution to pursue. To conclude, teams make posters that summarize their projects.
