Assignment 1: Complete the six beginner lessons
As a refresher, please complete these 6 lessons. They can be found by clicking the 'learn' tab found at the top right of your screen. Then click the 'lessons' tab and then under 'see all lessons' it will be the last six at the bottom.
Assignment 2: Complete projects
Tinkercad has added so many great resources and projects. There are almost 40 options for projects. Your job is to select and complete 12 of them.
Tinkercad projects can be accessed by clicking the 'learn' tab on the top right of your screen and then clicking the 'projects tab'
Please note: Additional Tinkercad projects can be found HERE (you can choose to do those in place of some of the ones from Tinkercad's site)

Assignment 3: Learning the Essentials
Before starting on your own designs, it is important to understand key factors that will make a design successful to print. The following videos that are attached are all quick to watch but will go over important things to keep in mind with your designs. Once you have finished watching (it will take no more than 15 minutes) please respond to the questions that are posted below them.
To submit your answers:
- Type them in Word, Wordpad, or Google Docs and then copy and paste them into Schoology in the submission box under the "daily grade' assignment for the day it will count for.
