From 2D to 3D-Drawing your Robot

Materials: gird paper, pencil,  laptop for 3D design on Tinkercad

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem: Can you take a 2D drawing and turn it into a 3D object?

​

 

 

 

 

 

​

 

1. Start by getting a piece of grid paper that is 20 x 20 here 

​

2. Draw a robot on the grid making sure the students understand that each square is 1cm

​

3. Your robot must have these parts

    a) Head (eyes, mouth)

    b) Body

    c) Arms

    d) Hands

    e) Legs

    f) Feet

​

1. Follow the videos below to build your robot

Now choose from the designs below to start your project

You have just designed your first 3D object! Looking back at the "Ideate" phase what are additional items you can add on your grid? Knees, a neck, ears, a hat? Can you then create some of these in the "Prototype" phase in 3D?
