• Know how to add intricate details to an existing model • Know color according to a set color palate • Understand which colors are complementary to one another |
Tinkercad is easy to use
Tinkercad is easy to use. Its environment is very beginner-friendly. We bought the full course with mentor support and homework checking, not a private tutor because our son had previous experience with Scratch and Roblox which I also suggest. I think parents should choose a private tutor (which btw I found affordable on your website) for children who don’t have any experience in block-based programming.
Tinkercad is awesome!
Tinkercad is awesome. My daughter is very fond of robots and wants to design her own robot one day. Your course was wonderful but I wish you also had a specific course for modeling and programming robots.
It’s awesome how children can understand and analyze the components of any object
It’s awesome how children can understand and analyze the components of any object they see after working with Tinkercad. I guess my son’s visual-spatial thinking has improved ever since he’s taken this course. Now he’s able to see the different parts of objects he sees and can model them easily. For example when he wants to model a lamp he identifies the different geometrical shapes, models every part and then assembles them together. I think it’s a skill that every kid should have if they’re fond of engineering and arts.
Tinkercad is fun
Tinkercad is fun. I bought your course for my niece and she liked it very much. Thank you!
