3D Modelling with Coding and Geometry

Computer-aided Design (CAD)  involves using computers to create or modify a design. CAD is extensively used in science and engineering fields to conceptualise products and build products that are used to serve various needs and purposes.

 

In this module, the girls will learn the basics of creating digital 3D models from 2D drawings that could be printed using a 3D printer. After becoming familiar with important tools and functions of TinkerCAD, the girls will use visual code blocks to design, build and manipulate 3D structures.


This introductory course takes 10 sessions to complete.
