Follow this introductory Autodesk Fusion 360 tutorial to design from scratch a Lego piece.  It is recommended to watch the video on your Chromebook while you follow the instructions and build the Lego piece on a more powerful computer with Fusion 360 loaded on it.

To Earn Credit For This Module:  Once you complete the tutorial, modify the Lego piece design by adding two "Lego Pegs" centered on the small face of the rectangular Lego piece.  Submit a screenshot of the modified design to earn credit.

Now that you are a little familiar with Fusion 360, follow this 6-part Autodesk Fundamentals lesson to learn more details about how the program works.  It is recommended to watch the video on your Chromebook while you follow the instructions and build the models on a more powerful computer with Fusion 360 loaded on it.  

You are expected to DO what they show in EACH of the 6 sections of the lesson.  Follow instructions to download and import the files provided.

To Earn Credit For This Module:  Submit screenshot showing the final, filleted design that you created by following all 6 sections of the lesson.

Use this tutorial video to learn how to build an exact model of an object using specific dimensions.  It is recommended to watch the video on your Chromebook while you follow the instructions and build the models on a more powerful computer with Fusion 360 loaded on it.  

To Earn Credit For This Module:  Once you complete the tutorial, modify the shape of the paperclip tp look like someone bent it oddly.  Submit screenshot showing the final bent paperclip design.

Use this tutorial video to learn how to design a threaded hex nut.  It is recommended to watch the video on your Chromebook while you follow the instructions and build the models on a more powerful computer with Fusion 360 loaded on it.  

To Earn Credit For This Module:  Once you complete the tutorial, PRINT 3 hex nuts, each in a different orientation on the print bed.  Make sure the total amount of filament material used is less than 15 grams (check in the print preview).  Submit a photo showing the finished 3D printed hex nuts.

Use this tutorial video to learn how to design an ASSEMBLY of components to create a dog bowl.  It is recommended to watch the video on your Chromebook while you follow the instructions and build the models on a more powerful computer with Fusion 360 loaded on it.  

To Earn Credit For This Module:  Once you complete the tutorial, submit a screenshot showing a SECTION VIEW of the dog bowl.

To Earn Credit For This Module: Now that you have some skills developed, its time to apply them in a creative challenge.  Design and print one of the characters listed to the left.  Use a reference image to guide your work.  Then print the model, making sure the total amount of filament material used is less than 15 grams (check in the print preview).  Submit a photo showing the 3D printed character.

For this module, your goal is to design an accurately sized and shaped protective circuit board case for the microcontroller or computer that you will be using to code with while in this class.  Use the instructions provided to guide your design work.

Design Requirements:

1. The circuit board must bolt into the case’s base through the board’s connection points.

2. The case must protect the bottom of the board from accidental damage and short circuiting (prevent accidental conductive connection of soldered pins)

3. The case must NOT BLOCK pins, connection ports, buttons, LEDS, or other important board features.

4. The case base must maximize airflow along the underside of the board to prevent overheating.

5. The case base must have 4 built in mounting points so that it can be mounted to a surface using screws or bolts.

6. You must make this case base customized by incorporating these two easy to read text items on the design:

• Your initials

• The month and year (ex: 12/2027)

To Earn Credit For This Module: Submit a screenshot showing the final version of your case with the board’s 3D model shown.
