Program Overview

Introduction to 3D Printing Program

The Introduction to 3D Printing program is designed for students in Grade 2 to 12. This interactive workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of 3D printing, its functionality, and various applications.

Program Details

• Grade Level: 2 to 12
• Duration: 1 to 2 hours
• Format: Available in both online and classroom settings

Program Description

In small groups, participants will have the opportunity to create their own 3D model using TinkerCAD, a user-friendly 3D modeling software. Utilizing 3D printers, they will also be able to turn their designs into reality. The program is structured to accommodate different time frames:

• During a 1-hour workshop, students will design their models using TinkerCAD.
• During a 2-hour workshop, students will not only design their models but also have the opportunity to 3D print their designs.

Specific Learning Objectives

• For Grades 2 to 6, the program focuses on teaching students how to build a house using 3D modeling techniques.
