Table Toy

  Tinkercad is well suited for students as it not only introduces us to CAD but also helps us to practice some mathematics lessons and therefore, I like using Scale while designing on Tinkercad. I'll be making a Mini Dustpan and Brush Toy for my study table.  This will help me to keep my study table clean from Rubber/Eraser dust and Pencil shavings. Things We Need Laptop or Computer Internet Connection Tinkercad Account 3D printer , filament and a paper cutter (if you are printing) Designing Dustpan Log in to your Tinkercad account and click  3D Design  (Left of your screen). Then click on   Create new design . Click and drag the   ruler   (Top right of your screen) to the   W orkplane . Keep the workplane snap grid measurement to 1.0 mm (Bottom right of your screen). Now, click on   Box   shape under   Tinkercad basic shapes   menu (Right of your screen) and drag it to the workplane. Change the dimensions of the box to 30...

Coding the Heritage: Rose Window of Valvisciolo Abbey

  Have you ever stood in a vast cathedral or church, and looked up at a large circular stained glass window dominating one of the walls? Did you know it was called a rose window ? Rose window is often used as a generic term applied to a circular window but is especially used for those found in Gothic cathedrals and churches. This type of window is called a rose window or a wheel window to refer to the fact that it's made of a series of smaller windows radiating out from the center like wheel spokes or flower petals. The rose window is one of the most representative elements of Gothic art and architecture . Their symbolism lies in geometry and the sense that many parts make a whole. When we study them, we begin to realize that these windows are made of geometric shapes. Whatever the style of window, all of the elements come together in a single cohesive design, the real and symbolic whole In this project, we will use Codeblocks and develop algorithms for the typical geometries of ...

Endless Calendar

Last week one of my students send me this link of this  Endless Calendar  asking me that could we make this using a 3D printer . Woodworking has not yet started for these 5th graders. Tinkercad is a pretty safe option for them. I loved his idea and decided to give it a try using Tinkercad. In this assignment, students will use Tinkercad to construct their own endless calendar. I have leveled this assignment according to the skill level of my 5th-grade students who have just started 3D designing and have basic knowledge of using Tinkercad. This project will further sharpen and strengthen students' measurement, perception, and logical thinking skills which is vital for 3D designing. Things We Need 1) Computer with an internet connection 2) Tinkercad account Copy and Tinker With each task, I have shared the templets . Please click the template link provided with each task, login to your Tinkercad account. Then click on the "Copy and Tinker" icon on the left. The task will...
