3D Printing

This lesson introduces students to TinkerCAD and has them create simple shapes that measure at a given ratio. The students then print and measure their design to see how close they were able to get to

In this lesson students will use Tinkercad to design a puzzle piece that will be used in the Escape Room from the previous lesson. This can be used as a stand alone lesson or in conjunction with the

In this lesson students will design a rough and final draft of an escape room using scale factor and ratios. Students will also create an escape plan using math at the level of the teachers choosing

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course

This lesson pairs STEM with the book - "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief". Students will discuss characters, their relationships to the Greek Gods, the importance of the Greek Gods

Students will create a 3D bookmark in Tinkercad. I pace this unit for three days. Day 1 is the introduction of 3D printing and practice in Tinkercad. Days 2 and 3 are creating and sharing their

This is the first of a series of lessons where students will build a robotic rover using the BBC micro:bit. In this lesson, students will determine the proper diameter for M3 bolts by making test

This is a multi-day engineering design project. I use this for 2 weeks, a total of ten 50-minute periods. Students will research and design a dog house, creating a 3D model in a web-based computer

In this lesson, students work with an assigned customer to create a 3D-printed nameplate. Working through the steps of the engineering design process, students use a 3D modeling software, Tinkercad
