General Notes

  • You do NOT need to create an account on TinkerCAD. Our instructor will provide you with a class code and/or link to join. This does not require you to enter any personal information. 
  • A 3D printer is not required to participate in this class. Your instructor will demonstrate how you can print remotely during the class session.
  • Competency in using a computer and basic web browsing skills are essential. Students who have difficulty navigating the internet or using the computer may need help from an adult or responsible guardian.
  • Purchase of a print of your finished CAD design is optional. Your instructor will explain how you can prepare your design to print remotely during the class and provide a link where you can upload your design and purchase a print if desired.
