The 3D Designing course introduces students to the exciting world of 3D modelling, digital design, and creative problem-solving. Using Tinkercad's beginner-friendly design tools, students learn how simple shapes can be transformed into imaginative 3D creations. Throughout the course, they explore geometric shapes, resizing, grouping, alignment, holes, duplication, rotation, and advanced design techniques while building fun projects such as characters, objects, structures, and personalised models. By the end of the course, students will have the confidence to turn their imagination into digital 3D designs and understand the basics of preparing models for real-world applications such as 3D printing.
Class 1: Welcome to the World of 3D Design

Students explore the Tinkercad workspace and create their first model using basic 3D shapes.

Class 2: Shape Builders: Move, Resize & Rotate

Students learn to transform basic shapes by moving, resizing, and rotating them in 3D space.

Class 3: Shape Fusion: Grouping & Combining Objects

Students combine simple shapes to construct more detailed and creative 3D objects.

Class 4: Design with Precision: Align & Duplicate

Students use precision tools to create balanced designs with repeated and symmetrical elements.

Class 5: The Power of Holes: Cut & Carve

Students discover how hole shapes can be used to carve, cut, and transform 3D objects.

Class 6: Character Creator: Build a 3D Character

Students bring imagination to life by designing their own unique 3D character.

Class 7: Cool Creations: Designing Everyday Objects

Students apply their design skills to create functional objects inspired by everyday life.

Class 8: Architects in 3D: Build a Mini Structure

Students become young architects by designing a creative structure in a 3D environment.

Class 9: Minecraft-Inspired 3D Design Challenge

Students create a fun game-inspired 3D model by transforming basic shapes into a detailed character or object.

Class 10: Duplicate Like a Designer: Patterns & Repetition

Students use duplication and repetition to create complex patterns quickly and efficiently.

Class 11: From Digital Model to Real World: Introduction to 3D Printing

Students discover how digital 3D models can be transformed into real physical creations through 3D printing.

Class 12: Ultimate 3D Design Challenge: Imagine, Design & Showcase

Students design and showcase an original 3D creation that brings together everything learned throughout the course.
