Tinkercad is a basic, but powerful modeling program that allows students to create and view 3-dimensional designs.

4th grade students were challenged to use their Design Thinking skills to create a mascot for their class. Their mascot was designed with specifications of no larger than 25 x 25 x 25 cm dimensions.

This Odyssey experience was a practice in perseverance and attention to detail.

The empathize and ideate phases were the starting point for their imaginations to create their mascot. Once in the Tinkercad program students experienced that their original ideas often need to change in the prototype stage. Part of the design thinking process is to be adaptable!
