Y4 - Computer Aided Design - CAD

Can I use a CAD program?

Success Criteria

Using Tinkercad, you will be designing with 3D shapes to create models.

We hope to 3D print your best attempt so you can take a physical model home.

Term 2a - Introduction Challenges

2a - Practice CAD designs

Part 3 - making models of landmarks around the world.

Think carefully about your chosen landmark. Using the skills you have learnt how can you make a 3D model of it.

Independent Challenge

Research - Basic Measurements for different monuments.

Applying our learning.   When we draw buildings we often use shapes and silhouettes.   You can apply this idea to 3D shapes as well.
