Mrs. Johnson, DHS Librarian, Shares the 3D Printing Project

3D Printing

with the

Connections Program

In January, the Connections class with Ms. Latorella visited the Library as a follow-up activity to their unit of study on Landmarks. Students learned how to create 3D designs using TinkerCad, a web-based 3D-modeling app, and designed their own monuments. Students selected certain design elements and which then had to be incorporated into their designs. The final projects were then printed on the Library's new 3D printer and the students were able to hold tangible, physical models of their digital 3D designs.
