MakerHub Tinkercad Training Guidelines

As you are aware, this semester we will learn Tinkercad, a free, cloud-based 3D

design software. Prior to your first Tinkercad training session, please review this

document and come prepared to class. The Baruch MakerHub will lead the training

session.

Pre-workshop training:

1. Create a free account on Tinkercad (https://www.tinkercad.com).

2. Watch the short, 2-minute video “see how it works” under the learn tab.

3. Spend some time playing with Tinkercad software in “start learning 3D”

section.

=> It is critical that you complete these tasks prior to class.

Workshop location: Library building, 6th floor, Room 656.

Room 656 is a computer lab and each student will have access to their own

computer. Arrive a few minutes early as you will need to log into a computer and

launch all programs.

Directions to Library Room 656:

Enter the library, walk through the turnstiles in front of you, take the elevator up to

the 6th floor, enter through the turnstiles, turn right, and walk towards the help

desk. Room 656 is behind the help desk area so just walk around to our computer

lab.

Workshop dates:

Check the syllabus and course announcements for specific dates.

Once you arrive to the computer lab:

1. Find an open computer.

2. Launch Tinkercad and log into your account.

Note: You may bring your own computer if you prefer.

class tomorrow in Room 404 @ 17 Lexington

Dear Students,

I hope you are well.

I was able to secure room 404 @ 17 Lexington for our class tomorrow, which will allow us to have access to microscopes to look at really small objects! FYI, the building @ 17 Lex is under construction and the most efficient way to get to room 404 is by taking the stairs to the 4th floor. Please reserve a few extra minutes to get to this classroom on time.

Just a reminder, for tomorrow:

Please, watch the following three videos listed of the eporfolios site: Astronomy, Tools of Seeing and Urban Ecology.

Also, please read Cohn “Urban Wildlife” (pdf available on our eporfolios site) and come to class prepared to come up with experiments (or follow up experiment) identifying indicators of wildlife and environment and how they affect people.

Lastly, watch the Deadly Garden video again and come up with the answer for the following question:

“What are some scientific questions that could be asked about about the Deadly Garden and which science senses each question generates?”

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Regards, Dr. Greer
