In this term we will be using TinkerCAD to develop our 3D design skills and see if we can make some model clocks. This is based on the ‘Hugo Cabret’ story which the children will need to understand or be reading before starting this unit. Teachers you can access the planning for this below:
This is an example of what we are making:
When its finished it should look something like this:
⚙️ Master Inventor Academy! 🕰️
Welcome, Luxembourg Inventors! 🇱🇺
Step into the magical train station. In this adventure, we are going to learn 3D Design to build amazing machines, just like Hugo Cabret!
Grab your digital toolbox. Choose your mission below! 👇
🏷️ Mission 1: Welcome to the Station
Every traveler needs a tag for their suitcase. Learn the basics of 3D design by creating your very own customized luggage tag!
🚂 Start Mission 1🏛️ Mission 2: Station Architecture
Time to build! Learn the magic of “Holes” and “Grouping” to create amazing shapes for our train station.
🧱 Start Mission 2🎩 Mission 3: Enter Hugo Cabret
