BlocksCAD Shoelace Badge Lesson

BlocksCAD is a free online software designed to teach students coding and Computer Aided Design. Using BlocksCAD, students will design a 3D Shoelace Badge. Using shapes, text, translate and difference, students will be exposed to computational thinking to construct something they can 3D print!

Note: In order to print the shoelace badge, students should use the Sardos Stencil font since a non stencil font will have floating sections (like the middle of an O or D), which will simply fall out after printing. In addition, make sure the solid shape is no thinner than 2mm.

The Shoelace Badge Activity is best for 3rd - 6th grade for students with basic BlocksCAD experience.
