In this class, students will explore how models simplify and represent real-world objects. Using materials like building blocks, clay, and wire, they’ll transform abstract ideas into tangible models. As they progress, they’ll transition to digital modeling with TinkerCAD and bring their designs to life with 3D printing. Students will develop spatial reasoning, creative problem-solving, and an understanding of engineering principles. This hands-on class is perfect for curious kids who love to build and explore how things work.
