My 3rd grade student designed this.
I came across a website called Tinkercad, which is a CAD-type program designed to introduce kids to CAD. I quickly learned I could create free student accounts using Google Classroom, which then allows me a connection to each of their accounts. I found that you can create an STL file in Tinkercad. Knowing that, I told my kids that I would make one of their designs using my CNC. They were super excited. This is the first one. Yes, I’m using cheap pine, which chips out, but I’m not ready to foot the bill on a more expensive wood right now. I thought I’d share this in case there are CNCers who are educators. My kids have Chromebooks. I know that there are some companies that offer educational discounts for software, but this is free and great for the 3rd grade level.
