Discovery of 3D Design Using Tinkercad (Grades 3-5)
$279.00
Young learners answer the question “How does 3D Printing work?” Students will learn how to build and modify designs using concept and design software. Students will translate those designs into code, learning the fundamentals of “slicing”. Through a hands-on approach, students will create tangible products from our in-house 3D printers.
