• 3.1-3.2A Technical Drawing (1): Tinkercad

    • Learning Objectives:

      After this lesson, students can

      • use some common tools in Tinkercad to draw 3D models;
      • understand how to read orthographic projection drawings.

    • 1. TINKERCAD

    • Tinkercad accepts Google account single sign-on (SSO). That means you can use your school Google account to sign in Tinkercad.

      1. Login to your Google classroom (classroom.google.com) by your school google account.

      2. In your D&T Google classroom - Classwork, find the link for joining your Tinkercad class.



      3. Click the above link. Then select to use Google account when required.



      SELECT THIS : 



      MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE USING YOUR OWN ACCOUNT,
      BECAUSE SOME ONE MIGHT USE YOUR COMPUTER AND HAVE NOT LOG OUT. IF IT IS NOT YOUR ACCOUNT, LOGOUT FROM TINKERCAD FIRST, THEN GO BACK TO STEP 1.

      4. Follow the instructions from Autodesk. Done !
