What is TinkerCAD?

TinkerCAD is a free, user-friendly, online tool that makes 3D modeling accessible to everyone. Created by Autodesk, TinkerCAD is an intuitive program that allows users to design 3D shapes, structures, and models through simple drag-and-drop mechanics. It’s ideal for those new to 3D design, including kids, teens, and adults who are just beginning to explore digital creation. With TinkerCAD, you can design everything from jewelry and toys to functional parts and prototypes, making it a fantastic stepping stone for anyone interested in the world of 3D modeling.

What You’ll Learn in the TinkerCAD Basics Workshop

Our TinkerCAD Basics workshop is a one-hour introduction to 3D modeling for ages 8 and up, covering the essential functions and tools you’ll need to get started. We’ll walk you through the interface, demonstrate how to create basic shapes, and show you how to combine them into more complex designs. By the end of the session, you’ll have built your very own 3D model and gained the confidence to explore further on your own.

Here’s what you can expect to learn:

• Navigating the Interface: Get comfortable with TinkerCAD’s dashboard and workspace, where all the magic happens.
• Basic Shapes and Tools: Learn how to create, adjust, and combine basic shapes such as cubes, spheres, and cylinders.
• Transformations and Modifications: Experiment with rotating, resizing, and aligning objects to bring your vision to life.
• Combining Shapes: Discover how to join different shapes to create more complex structures and designs.
• Saving and Exporting Designs: Find out how to save your work, export it, and even prepare it for 3D printing.
