3D Printing – Tinkercad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I have some experience with coding, I decided to try the 3D printing. My school has two 3D printers that are in the office of our technology assistant. My kindergarten students love watching the printer work and trying to guess what it is printing. In fact, I like watching it also. Sekinger’s (2019) observation that both students and adults are excited to watch the 3D printer at his school (The 3D reality section, para. 1) is true at my school also. I love that the 3D printer is in the library at Sekinger’s (2019) school. This gives all the students a chance to use and experience it. His belief “that a library should be a place of discovery and exhibition, innovation and connection” (Sekinger, 2019, introduction) helps creates a place where all students can make a connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before attempting a 3D project, I started with the mini lessons on the Tinkercad site. I did not count these lessons as part of my designing hour. After going through them, I thought I would be able to zoom right through designing something. Boy, was I wrong! It was harder than it looked. First, I was trying to design a house but struggled with getting the roof on. So, I deleted it. A few tries and deletes later and with the hour ticking by, I decided on the USA shield. Honestly, I didn’t really know what it was going to be when I started designing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the middle school students in Sekinger’s (2019) school are creating their own 3D designs after some lessons (The 3D reality section, para. 1), I fear younger students would struggle. Designing as a class with the librarian\/teacher taking the lead would be fun and a good learning experience. Whether designing together as a class, small group or as an individual, students will be engaging in computational thinking. When designing for a 3D printer, students are “identifying problems, breaking apart or decomposing the problem into smaller parts, finding patterns, and designing solutions” (Libraries Ready to Code, 2018, para. 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
