Understanding Circuits using Tinkercad Part 1: LED Cards & Designing Circuits with Tinkercad
by Christi Jones
In this engaging two part project, we will delve into the world of circuits, 3D modeling using Tinkercad, and hands-on fabrication.
By designing and creating your own LED card and pendant, you will develop skills in problem-solving, creativity, and practical application of electrical principles.
This lesson combines the excitement of making functional devices with the exploration of technology, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of the power of circuitry and the versatility of 3D printing.

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
Grades:
6th Grade, 7th Grade, 8th Grade
Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.
Grades:
8th Grade, 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade
Students will model series and parallel circuits in Tinkercad and transfer the design to a physical breadboard. At the end of the lesson, students must use the design process to design and build a
