3/6/2018. This week in iNEST, the girls set up new accounts on TinkerCad and started working with a set of "basics" tutorials that show them how to complete basics steps in the program such as punching holes in objects, layering objects, and combining objects. The outcome of work in TinkerCad are 3D models that get pushed to the club's two LulzBot 3D printers. This week seven students submitted files to the club's shared drive to place in the cue for 3D printing. Two other students printed 3D models this week. Several parents came in this afternoon to hear about the club's upcoming overnight field trip to the USA Science and Engineering Expo in Washington, DC. After Mary Clay and Deborah went over trip logistics, the parents joined their child in the club meeting room to see what they were working on in TinkerCad. We will continue with the 3D printing unit for a few more weeks, and then will transition to another programmable robotic platform--the Spheros.
