3D Design- City of Hearts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqkZFCj8ndU

Using Tinkercad,I have created a 3D city of hearts. My inspiration from city of hearts comes from a reflection made in the staff room this afternoon by a co-worker "the world just needs some more peace and love today". I could not agree more, so in my small little way, I have created a 3D City of Hearts.

I enjoyed this process much more than creating game in the previous task. I felt I had more immediate control of the objects and I could easily manipulate them in the way I wanted.

I see great potential for using Tinkercad in the learning commons as a part of a Makerspace project. In ADST courses, there are a lot of cool projects that students can see come to life through the use of Tinkercad. For example, an initial draft for an ideal kitchen in a Foods class can be created on Tinkercad. A floor plan for the perfect parklet can be created in a Design & Innovation class. Community projects such as school/roof top gardens can be designed with Tinkercad.

Here are a few great lessons I came across to introduce Tinkercad to your students.
