Tinkercad

Great work on your Beetle Blocks projects last week. Before we move on to this week's work, I wanted to share a solution to our Star of David challenge.

​This week we are using Tinkercad. Watch the video below for how to get started.

This Week's Tasks

Learning Tasks

• If you have never used Tinkercad before, do the seven "Starters" lessons from the "Learn" menu. This will be essential to understanding how the program works.
• Do the "Die from Scratch" lesson. Send screenshots of completed die to [email protected]

Making Task
Using Tinkercad to design a 3D dreidel. When completed, email screenshots to [email protected]
Hints:

1. Build from bottom of dreidel up
2. Use the scribble function to make Hebrew letters
3. Consider size, shape, symmetry, and proportion.
4. Be innovative! I am showing you one idea for a dreidel, how can you improve upon this idea. 

​Here's a rough sample below.

Use your Tuesday class to try things out. You can email with any questions. I will be available to chat or "Google Hang" on Thursday during class time.


-UPDATE-

I received the same question, "How do I make sure my Hebrew letters are etched into my dreidel and not sticking out?" from several people. I made a quick video showing how to do that. If you had this question, check out the video below.
