Combination Work: Tinkercad - Pixton and inbuilt blocks

 

This is the follow up posts to examples of how my class of students is looking to use Tinkercad in other ways to combine with other apps and form of presentation.

As we have noted yesterday we have some students, based in our rural area who have been producing 3D Printed Mini-Farms.   While we have not printed all of these creations, we also want to use them in other ways and explore other potential uses.   We also have students producing writing in Pixton, another iPad app.  In this instance the student has imported their design from Tinkercad directly into  and used the it as the background for a creation.   The comic book characters are avatars of the students, and the students are going to have a series of explanation of the different aspects of the design explained by the cartoon characters.

The original format for this design, looks 'blocky' as it already has been converted into a block option from the main interface.  We have students who are big fans of the plastic block building material, and this converts their original designs into a brick format.   There is also options for another similar not a mining game, to make similar blocks.

All of the three options here are very easy to import into the various extensions, or within Tinkercad.  It is simply a single button pushed.
