The Future is Now!

In our continued effort to prepare our 21st Century learners for their future in Middle School, High School and beyond, students have been introduced to an online 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) tool called Tinkercad. This web-based software application will be the primary tool we use in conjunction with our STEAMtrax (Grade 3 through 8) curriculum and cross-curricular 3D printing initiative.
The introduction of the online STEAMtrax curriculum is an Archdiocesan-wide initiative to prepare students for a future in STEM fields. The cross-curricular lessons integrate hands-on activities and state of the art 3D printing as an introduction to computer-aided design and manufacturing.
St. Louis students are busy learning about kinesthetic wave models, wind turbines, forces in motion and much more. They are also enjoying seeing the printed results of their designs. The future is now!
