Description
BlocksCAD is a free online software designed to teach students coding and Computer Aided Design. Using BlocksCAD, students will design a 3D Play Dough Cutter. Students will practice skills they are familiar with: creating shapes, using translation, rotation, and learn the difference skill. Students will be exposed to computational thinking to construct something they can 3D print!
Note: If printed, the cutters should be used with non-edibles only!
The Play Dough Activity is best for 3rd - 6th grade for students with basic BlocksCAD experience.
As a Teacher you can create a free trial of our BlocksCAD for Education platform. From here you can create classes with unique join codes and manage student work.
