Original Tinkercad Design Tinkering

 

We've approaching the end of term one already and we've had a term, nearly ten weeks of students working on various designs.   While we might have only a short space of time to create specifically with Tinkercad there have been a number of (seven and eight year old students) working on ideas and refiing ideas in their own time.  

The series of designs in this range are created uniquely by the students and the purpose was to create something that could be recognised.  Tinkercad as a design tool has a range of shapes available which the students have used as a basis for the design.  

The train shown above was created using a range of basic shapes and then manipulated by the student using their iPad and the Tinkercad app.   Once completed the design was then tested by AR/VR it into different locations.  

The sharing of these ideas is to allow students to give each other feedback on how they might develop their ideas and designs.   Students are able to comment on how you might add layers to a particular design or make something have an increased recognition factor.

There are a large number of designs that fit into this category.   On the corresponding Facebook page for this site there are additional ideas and creations.
