TinkerCAD 3D Design & Printing SNOWFLAKES - Day 2 (MidKids)

It's crunch time! Today is PNG's last class of the year and it was hectic. Everybody was scrambling to make the best snowflakes possible to decorate for the holiday season , but we all finished our designs and they looked great!

Today is the final day. Everyone made good progress the first class so this class was a breeze. A few finishing touches to the designs and they were set. They turned out great!

TinkerCAD 3D Design & Printing SNOWFLAKES - Day 1 (MidKids)

Christmas is almost here and snow is falling. To honor everyone's favorite season, we are giving the students a challenge. Create there very own snowflakes using CAD software!

We got going right off the bat. Many of the students are now familiar with the TinkerCAD program we like to use so there was no intro needed. We are well on our way to finishing up our own winter designs!

'Twas the PNG before Christmas, when all thro' the library
Students were making snowflakes...I'm not sure where I'm going with this but you get the point.

This is our last session before we go on break for the holidays, and this class was a winter theme. We gave the students a challenge. Create a snowflake with no template. We are well on our way there using copy and paste, along with some symmetry to make a cool snowflake design! 

We'll wrap up on Thursday and then go on break. Stay tuned for future PNG news!

Hour of Code! (MidKids)

Today was a laid-back, old-fashioned, coding session! Everybody got into the zone after a couple of minutes of using the Code.org website. We all did a great job at completing some of the highest levels available on the website! With this basic coding under our belt, we can now move on to harder, script coding in future sessions!
