Students
- are introduced to the MPACT design/making model and design a bookmark to be 3D printed.
- learn about linear measurement.
- identify and correct errors in their Tinkercad designs (CT).
Project 2. Make a Kite ![Illustration of a kite](https://www.terc.edu/mpact3d/wp-content/uploads/sites/48/2023/07/kite-and-angles.png)
Students will:
- use the design/making model to make an origami kite that really flies.
- learn about angles and symmetry.
- break complex problems down into simpler ones (CT).
- imagine how holes appear after they fold a paper, cut holes, and unfold the paper (spatial reasoning).
Project 3. Make a Stamp ![Illustration of a stamp](https://www.terc.edu/mpact3d/wp-content/uploads/sites/48/2023/07/Stamp.png)
Students will:
- use the design/making model to make a 3D printed stamp with a symmetrical design.
- go deeper into symmetry.
- give directions to others on how to create a design in Tinkercad (CT).
- make a shape, resize it, and rotate it on a screen, imagining how it will look at each stage (spatial reasoning).
