Summary

A 90 minute virtual but practical session on Getting Started with 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD).

With James Fraser and Henry Penfold.

The course would focus on getting started with Tinkercad and SketchUp with us delivering 40 mins on each program, and how these can be used within Science & Computing.

 

  • About the course

    • Using free 3D CAD design and simulation to enhance science learning journeys by emulating environments, experiments and virtual resources. 
    • Showcase using Tinkercad and Sketch Up and show how they can be accessed by teachers and pupils in the classroom.  

Ideas

  • Create a working circuit simulator with measurements. (Tinkercad)
  • Forces – Simulate the ‘ramp height gravity/friction experiments’ – (Tinkercad)
  • Create a 3D model of the water cycle – (SketchUp)
  • Create 6 different 3D Biomes. – (SketchUp)
  • Create a model of the solar system – (SketchUp)
