About This Activity
Our research-backed, once weekly 1-hour STEAM enrichment program transforms how students engage with science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Designed specifically for elementary and middle school learners, we deliver hands-on, project-based experiences that build critical 21st-century skills while exceeding academic standards. 3D printing with Tinkercad This hands-on program guides students from foundational 3D modeling skills to advanced engineering concepts using Tinkercad. Beginners will start by creating basic geometric shapes through fun projects like custom bubble wands and jewelry design. As they progress, students learn precision engineering by utilizing the align and hole tools to build functional household items and custom desk gear. The curriculum also introduces cutting-edge concepts, allowing students to test their creations in a virtual physics simulator and use basic block coding to program 3D algorithms. Finally, the course culminates in a 12-week capstone assessment where students act as real-world inventors to design an ultimate desk organizer or a brand-new invention.
