Our school recently received grant funding for a 3D printer, and I wanted to find a way to get all of my students using it. We were in the middle of our DNA unit, so I decided to challenge each student to design a 3D model of the DNA molecule.
After a quick introduction to TinkerCad tools, the students were working. The engagement and excitement were high. Students helped one another find, move, and manipulate shapes to create unique models of DNA. Many students continued on in their own time to create nameplates, small toys, and even an entire bunny village in TinkerCad!
