Design a Keychain for 3D Printing in One Class
A single class for ages 8 to 12. Children design a personalized keychain in Tinkercad and learn what makes a design printable.
Class Experience
The teacher shows how to add text, shapes and a loop, then explains two rules for printing: nothing too thin, and a flat base. Children design their own keychain and export a file they can print at home, at school or through a printing service.
How classes work
