1-on-1 Tinkercad Tutoring: Build Your First 3D Models

The tutor shares their screen for a short demo, then the learner builds while sharing theirs. Each session ends with a finished model, such as a name tag, a rocket or a tiny house. The pace follows the child, and the last sessions are spent on a project they choose.

How classes work

Each 45-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.

What we can work on

• 

  Moving Around in 3D – Learn the workplane, camera and basic shapes by building a name tag.

• 

  Combining Shapes – Group shapes to build a rocket.

• 

  Holes and Cutting – Use hole shapes to make windows, doors and hollow parts.

• 

  Aligning and Measuring – Use the align tool and ruler to build a tidy house.

• 

  Copy, Mirror and Patterns – Duplicate parts to make wheels, legs and fences.

• 

  Planning Your Own Design – Sketch an idea and break it into shapes.

• 

  Building Your Design – Build the model with help where needed.

• 

  Finishing and Sharing – Add details, take screenshots and present the model.
