3D Modeling with TinkerCAD | Educational Park Library

September 21, 2024 @ 12:30 pm 2:30 pm

Events at the local libraries.

Today: 3D Modeling with TinkerCAD at Educational Park Library.

This program is recommended Ages 10+ Take the first steps towards using TinkerCAD, a free in-browser 3D modeling software! Learn the different ways to pan around the camera and get from one point to another on the work plane, see all the different categories of pre-made shapes already available to you, and learn how to align shapes with each other and combine them into one object. Use all of these new skills to make yourself 3D art and we will use a 3D printer to make it come to life! No previous experience in CAD (computer-aided drafting) is required, though you are expected to know how to operate a computer including downloading and opening files, starting programs, saving files, and navigating file systems. The class is scheduled for 2 hours if time is needed, but you’ll most likely finish a lot faster.

Once you are done with your creation, you are welcome to leave or create more! 10 spots available [due to in-house devices]. If you have your own laptop [external mouse recommended], you can attend even if on the waitlist. This program is free. Registration is required Parents and friends are welcome to watch. Only one sign-up per email. Click here to reserve your spot.
