Description
BlocksCAD is a free online software designed to teach students coding and Computer Aided Design. Using BlocksCAD, students will design a 3D Boat. Using shapes, translate, difference and intersection, students will be exposed to computational thinking to construct something they can 3D print!
Note: In order to print the boat, make sure that the mast's radii are at least 1 mm thick.
The Boat Activity is best for 5th - 8th 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.
