Quadruped Animal

Leave a comment

Design your own 3D printed quadruped animal using the free cloud-based software TinkerCAD. This fun and challenging project is a perfect way for new users to start having fun with 3D design. Just watch the youtube playlist, and then get started! Don’t forget to turn support on in your slicer software to hold up the quadruped belly, chin, or tail during the print.

WITEA 2016 Spring Conference: Thank you!

Leave a comment

The WITEA 2016 Spring Conference was an amazing experience. It was an honor to meet so many dedicated, creative, and intelligent educators. The presentations were practical and many of the things I learned were applicable to my teaching.

I would like to thank everyone that attended my presentation.  I would also like feedback; How could I improve my presentation, content, or distribution of materials?

Please comment. Let me know how I can make it better. My goal is to always make the content here usable in the classroom with a minimal amount of teacher effort.
