Learning the Tricks
Have a new TinkerCAD document open, drag some shapes to the workplane.
Watch the Quick Key Command video below and TRY EACH ONE so you are familiar with
them. They are super helpful and will make your life a lot easier
when designing projects.
(you will need to turn in to Google Classroom)
For this project, you will be using TinkerCAD AND Google Slides.
For each of the skill videos (there are 16) - try each skill and SNAG A SCREEN
SHOT of your work, showing the skill. (the link is below)
You can use any shapes to represent the skill you are learning, you will NOT NEED A PENGUIN!!
TIP: Use a shape from the library that will help you demonstrate the Skill...
1. Drag the screenshot to a SLIDE IN YOUR GOOGLE slide doc **
2. Be sure to title the Skill Correctly
3. Write down the basics steps required to execute the skill (see sample below)
**try Command+Control+Shift+4, then you can paste (Command V) directly into your slide :) **
YOUR GOOGLE SLIDES WILL HAVE 16 SLIDES FOR 16 SKILLS
Here is the link to the Sweet 16 Skills...
Below are three projects with complete tutorials to follow. There are in order of difficulty, so do them in the correct order.
Create separate files for each of the FIVE projects below

If you feel you have pretty decent skills and could go without a complete tutorial,
you might want to tray a Medieval castle to align with your history curriculum,
You can present to your 3D Castle to your 7th Grade History teacher as an indulgence or
sign of Feudal loyalty!!!
Here is a link for some inspiration:
