Students in Michelle Biancardo’s Tech 8 Arduino class at Grand Avenue Middle School digitally designed fidget spinners prior to 3D printing them.
“Tinkercad is a computer-aided design (CAD) program enabling students todesign, modify, and print 3D objects, experiment with circuits, or learn to code using blocks,” explained Biancardo.
While student Jeremy Dang devised a base for students to model, others became creative with designs like cats, flowers, hexagons and more.
On Nov. 22, students worked on printing last minute touches and assembly of their spinners.
“Constraintsincluded the diameter of the ball bearing and other technical skills to shape and align the spinner parts,” she added.
The results were a spinning success.
