About this course
We’re creating the toys and games of our dreams in this fun-first introduction to coding, 3D design, and 3D printing. We’ll start with our favorite book, game and movies heroes and stories and then design, code, animate, and play our games in Scratch, MIT’s block-based programming language for kids and we’ll advance into intros to Python coding. We’ll 3D design and build our own toys, games, cars, rockets, robots, castles, and circuits in Tinkercad, the 3D design tool where you can create anything you can imagine. We’ll brainstorm our inspirations with clay, foam, and paper prototypes, then we’ll use 3D printing pens to create 3D objects. If you can imagine it, you can create it!
