What You’ll Learn?
Understand the fundamentals of 3D modeling and digital prototyping
Explore how ideas are transformed into digital models and physical prototypes
Learn how to navigate a CAD workspace and create objects using basic 3D shapes
Apply measurement and scale concepts to create accurate designs
Understand how models are prepared for 3D printing and physical production
Create functional prototypes that solve real-world problems
Develop design thinking skills through engineering and creativity challenges
Apply geometry, structure, and science concepts through 3D models
Design sustainable and user-centered solutions
Improve prototypes through testing, evaluation, and refinement

Requirements
Basic computer skills required
Access to a computer with 3D modeling software
Students should follow the design process:
Imagine → Design → Model → Prototype → Test → Improve → Share
Students should consider:
Measurements and accuracy
Functionality of the design
User needs
Material and printing limitations
Design improvements after testing
Students should document their design decisions and explain how their prototype solves a problem
No previous advanced CAD experience is required
