Description: “Monsters Corporation in 3D” course is about learning the basics of 3D modeling in the visual online environment of Tinkercad. During the course, students will be introduced to the basic concepts of 3D modeling (tools, 3-dimensional space, graphic primitives and more) and tools of the Tinkercad environment. During the course, students will create 3D models of characters from the famous cartoon “Monsters University” and will be able to transfer them to the world of the famous computer game Minecraft. The last lesson provides independent creative work, as a result of which students will create their own model of the monster, while applying the knowledge and skills gained during the course. Passing this course will allow participants to get their first experience with 3D modeling, develop logic, spatial imagination and personal computer skills.
What is needed: personal computer with web connection support (webcam and microphone), Internet connection speed of AT LEAST 7 MB/s (incoming and outgoing).
Preparing for the first lesson: before the first lesson, students are provided with all the necessary information on how to install the required training programs on their computer, as well as instructions on how to install and operate Zoom.
The teacher helps students understand all the tools and programs in the first trial lesson that will be used in the course, as well as gives an introductory lesson with practical tasks for students.
Form of education: training takes place in groups (no more than 8 people) once a week. During the remote lesson, students work in the Zoom program, where the teacher has the opportunity to monitor their work and help using the remote control function. Parents are recommended to be present during the lesson.
