Exploring Tinkercad - Inquiring and Analyzing Reflection
On Thursday last week, Miss Veena introduced the whole class to this website called Tinkercad. Basically Tinkercad is this online website that is a 3D printing and designing tool, on it you can design and create whatever shape and object you desire. Also it's pretty easy to learn to use and I feel like children would have a lot of fun creating objects on this website, so my opinion on this website is that it's not only for adults, it's for kids as well. In the lesson, we created a Tinkercad account and then Miss Veena gave us a name of another website, and this was a PDF that explained how to use Tinkercad. So we read it and had a go on it following the steps in the PDF. Practically this lesson was more of exploring and trying out the options on Tinkercad. On Tinkercad you can basically can create anything, there were 'stencils' to create hot dogs, mugs, boat, cars, dolls and lots more. You can change the size and colour of any shape and modify it until you are happy with it. On the PDF, while we were exploring and trying out new things, we had to make this boat out of just shapes, and even though we didn't get to finish it, mine started looking somewhat like a boat, and I was really proud of myself. I had a lot of fun in that lesson and I think it was very interesting, I hope we get to do this kind of things in class more often and I can't wait to see how my final object looks like.
