Three Lesson Packs
– Created by Teachers for Teachers –
Beginner Lesson Pack
Ideal for Grades 5 and 6 who have no experience of 3D printing. There are 7 lessons introducing students to the basics of 3D printing and how to design and prepare models for 3D printing. All the modeling lessons are based around the free software TinkerCAD. This is web browser based and designed for children. This lesson pack introduces students to basic slicing using FlashPrint software.
Intermediate Lesson Pack
Ideal for Grades 7 and 8. This can build on the Beginners lesson pack or be used straight away with this age range. Lessons focus on different types of 3D printing, uses of 3D printers in everyday society, and an introduction to parametric modeling. The software used is Autodesk Fusion 360 (free for education). There are 2 slicing lessons FlashPrint teaches students more advanced custom settings for preparing files for 3D printing.
Advanced Lesson Pack
