Tinkercad

Tinkercad is an easy-to-use 3D CAD design tool. It's a fun way to reinforce geometry concepts grades 4-8, and is great for creating all sorts of 3D models. Tinkercad designs can be rendered using a 3D printer or screencasted to create a "tour" of a design (e.g., Tinkercad Missions, Tinkercad US Capitol Building).
