Lakesiders Explore World of Tinkercad

Sixth graders at Lakeside have been exploring the exciting world of 3D design using Tinkercad. 

As their culminating project, students designed creative, themed tic-tac-toe boards, bringing their imaginative ideas to life through 3D printing. 

To make the experience even more meaningful, these sixth graders visited the second grade classrooms to share their creations, teach the rules, and enjoy a few friendly games together.  

It was a wonderful moment of collaboration and mentorship across grade levels. 

The custom tic-tac-toe boards have now been donated to the second grade classrooms, where they will continue to be played and enjoyed for years to come.
