For students in grades 6-9.

Learn how to design awesome 3D objects using BlocksCAD, a software program that combines 3D modeling with block-based coding. You will learn basic computer-aided design (CAD) principles while learning the foundations of coding. While you build on the introductory concepts and practice computational thinking skills, you have fun creating unique, personalized, three-dimensional designs. This class can also accommodate students with prior coding experience.

Each student gets one 3D print over the 10 hour course. The instructor will print these projects outside of class and provide instructions at the end of class for safe pick-up or shipping.

Equipment needed: A device (laptop, Macbook, iPad or Chromebook) and wifi.

Recommendations: Prior to the start of class, visit http://www.blockscad3d.com/editor to open the online Blocks CAD software.

Parents are asked to be available for the first 3-5 min of the first class for a tech check and to make sure the child is all set.
