🎯 Learning Intention

Today, I will use step-by-step tutorials in TinkerCAD to practice essential CAD skills like moving, resizing, grouping, and creating holes.

✅ Success Criteria

I can complete at least 5 tutorials in TinkerCAD and show evidence of my progress in my Digital Tech Journal.

🌍 Why Are We Learning This?

Tutorials help us learn new tools independently. Practicing these basics prepares us for complex 3D designs and projects, like the Blender donut build next quarter.

🧠 Warm-Up – Tech Journal Prompt

💡 What helps you learn best: watching someone, reading instructions, or trying it yourself? Why?

Write 3–4 sentences before you start tutorials.

📚 Vocabulary of the Day

Term Definition Example Why It Matters
Group Combine multiple shapes into one object. Merging a cube + cylinder to make a tower. Saves time and lets you design more complex objects.
Hole A transparent shape that cuts space out of another shape. Cutting a circle out of a cube to make a tunnel. Holes are essential for 3D printing and realistic models.
Align Arrange shapes relative to each other. Centering a sphere on top of a cube. Keeps designs neat, balanced, and precise.
