Before You Begin
This tutorial will help you understand how to use the built-in tutorials in TinkerCAD.
However, before you begin creating, you will need to sign in using a Google account or
create a free account on TinkerCAD using your email. You will need to sign in before
you complete any tutorials. If your teacher has created a class, you can click the green
button that says “Students, join a class” and they will give you the information you need
to create your profile. Otherwise, click the dark blue box that says “Create a personal
account.” If you already have a personal account and your teacher makes a class, you
can join that class in the left-hand menu once you log into your account.
Once you have created an account, you will be able to save both your progress in the
tutorials and any creations you make. When you sign in to your account, your recent
designs will appear front and center. You can organize these designs into project
folders that you create and organize to suit your needs. For example, if you are working
on Pollution Solution and Fix It, you can have separate folders for each of those Design
& Pitch Challenges.

HOW TO USE

TINKERCAD TUTORIALS

Getting Started When you click the link into one of the TinkerCAD tutorials on the Tech Tools page, your browser window will open to a screen that looks similar to the one below. Of course, each tutorial will look different, but the workspace will be similar for each. The area outlined in red above is where you will find instructions for completing each tutorial. The arrows and drop-down menu at the top of this region allow you to move throughout the entire tutorial. The middle section is where TinkerCAD will show you images, some of which are animated, of the tutorial moves, as well as instructions for what you are supposed to do. Once you have completed each step in the instructions, click the ‘Next’ button at the bottom of this region to move on to the next step in the tutorial. The area outlined in green above is your workspace. This is where you can place images and features from the library (see the next paragraph). This is also the region where you will manipulate, or work with, your figures to complete the tutorials. The area outlined in yellow above is your library. This is where you will find the shapes you will use in your tutorials. At the top of this region are two tools you will learn about in the tutorials: the Workplane, and the Ruler.
