Helping Communities with 3D Printing
This lesson will allow students to learn more about 3D printing design and the engineering process. Students will brainstorm different needs in their community and people who could benefit from something printed on a 3D printer. After deciding on a few projects, groups will use Tinkercad to design objects to be printed on a 3D printer and use the engineering process to create more than one prototype. Finally, students will review other groups' projects and reflect on how well the 3D printed item solves a community problem or fills a need.

This lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real world objects by breaking them
This thematic unit has four lessons which introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, students will learn how to
