Students will explore the properties of electricity and energy through the creation of circuit designs. Students will explore circuits using TinkerCAD with the support of their teacher. Using TinkerCAD, the teacher will introduce a design challenge that requires students to create a circuit as it might be used with a wind turbine.
Students will begin by completing the following tutorial in TinkerCAD:
https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/circuits
Students should complete the following sections:
Simulating Circuits
Editing Components
Once the tutorial is completed, students should work on the following design challenge:
Create a simple circuit that demonstrates how a savonius turbine might power an object of your choosing.
Explore what you have learned and what you know to integrate your knowledge of Turbines with your knowledge of additive manufactuing. Use the Mayku vacuum former as a desktop manufacturing tool to enhance the Savonius turbine design.
