🎯 Learning Intention

I will explore TinkerCAD and create my first 3D model using basic shapes.

✅ Success Criteria

• I can log in to TinkerCAD and navigate the workspace.
• I can create, move, resize, and group at least 3 different shapes.
• I can save/export my design to add later to my portfolio.

🌍 Why Are We Learning This?

CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the foundation of engineering, architecture, and 3D printing. Learning how to build and manipulate digital objects prepares us for future projects, portfolios, and certifications.
