3D Printing a Bubble Wand
by Tina Kennedy
This lesson was for 2nd/3rd graders in an after-school class. Students were not familiar with 3D printing or Tinkercad. We spent 3 days to complete. Day 1 was learning about 3D printing, opening Tinkercad's website, and joining a Tinkercad classroom created for this class. Day 2 involved making the handle, creating a bubble blower design, and creating a hole in the bubble blower to remove solid materials. Day 3 was finishing the shapes, aligning, and grouping the finished design.
