For: 4-H Youth ages 12 and up
Cost: Free
Learn how to design objects for 3-D printing using Tinkercad, free online software for creating simple three-dimensional designs. You will learn the basics of navigating a 3-D workspace, design tools to create 3-D shapes and how to export those designs so they can be 3-D printed. Once you master 3-D design in Tinkercad, you will be well positioned to move onto advanced 3-D design software such as Fusion or Blender. In addition to learning how to design simple 3-D objects, we will explore the nature of making and design to solve problems and make useful objects.
Workshop access will be available using Google Classroom. Participants must have a laptop with a mouse and camera, working email, and internet access. Access to a 3-D printer, while helpful and fun, is not required.
If you need an accommodation to participate in our programming, please contact Claes Thelemarck, 603-447-3834 and claes.thelemarck@unh.edu prior to the event. Given ample time, we will make any reasonable effort to meet your needs, including language access services if requested, which will be provided free of charge.
