All kids enjoy Minecraft! In some countries, it's even included in the educational program in schools and has confidently secured the status of one of the best tools for the development of digital creativity.
Minecraft gives a wide scope for the realization of creative ideas in virtual game worlds. This is a great environment for developing a variety of models - from characters to full-fledged scenes. One of the modern and popular tools for 3D modeling is TinkerCAD.
TinkerCAD is a free and easy-to-use web application which helps kids master the basic skills needed to integrate innovations in 3D design.
TinkerCAD has a lot of opportunities to show and develop all your creative skills – you can create models of any complexity and detail, from an uncomplicated mushroom to a detailed city plan or an organism cell.
Models from TinkerCAD can:
- be used for design and further construction;
-
be integrated into a gaming environment such as Minecraft;
-
be printed on 3D printer;
-
be further used to create games in Roblox or Unity;
-
be used in the creation of VR/AR projects.
To invent and create your own three-dimensional models, you
do not need special knowledge and experience. Every kid will be able to master the functionality of TinkerCAD, implement and integrate any of his/her ideas into Minecraft. Enroll your kid in our course and give him/her the opportunity to implement creative ideas into his own 3D projects!

About the course:
The course is designed for kids from 7 to 10 years old who want to learn how to create their own three-dimensional objects in Minecraft. During the course, the students will get acquainted with the modern TinkerCAD tool and turn their creative ideas into virtual objects and scenes in their favorite video game.
3D modeling skills are very relevant today in a variety of fields - from the gaming industry to design and architecture.
Using the example of simple buildings from Minecraft, the children will learn how to work in the TinkerCAD environment, invent and develop three-dimensional models.
The advantages of the course are that the learning takes place in practice with the complication of the material, the information comes consistently, and only the one that is necessary for practice in a particular lesson – thus, the students immediately apply the knowledge they have gained in practice. At the same time, there is always room for creativity and the embodiment of any ideas.
The course is suitable for all kids who are passionate about creative pursuits, mathematics, 3D modeling and programming.
In the future kids will be able to use the knowledge and skills acquired during the course:
- for simple modeling in Roblox Studio;
-
in the process of creating their own computer or mobile game on the Unity3D engine;
-
to develop their prototypes and print them out on a 3D printer;
-
for further work in 3D modeling programs - Blender, 3ds Max, Autodesk, Maya.
In our course kids:
- will get acquainted and work with the popular 3D design tool TinkerCAD;
-
will develop their spatial and creative thinking;
-
will learn how to work with a wide variety of objects - create, duplicate, change any models of characters and buildings;
-
will create and refine their final three-dimensional objects and scenes and integrate them into Minecraft.
Upon completion of the course kids will:
- master the basic tools of TinkerCAD;
-
be able to independently invent, create their own 3D objects and share them with classmates;
-
develop innovative and creative thinking;
-
gain knowledge of 3D design;
-
master the skills of project activity;
