In this lesson, you will use drag and drop coding to design a unique shape or pattern that you will then print on your 3D Printer. Hold your code in your hands as you go from "Code to CAD"

Coding is understood to help our students become 21st century learners that can not only interact with the technology around them, but also produce it. Not only do students gain a better grasp on how our increasingly technological world works, but also the computational thinking that is gained from coding education can help them in whatever career path they choose. In this lesson students will be able to practice computational thinking skills by being able to 3D print their code and interact with it.
