Skills
Design
3D Modeling
Build complex, measurable 3D forms from primitives, using alignment, grouping and symmetry.
CAD Fundamentals
Navigate a 3D workspace, manipulate primitives and combine shapes with Boolean operations.
Collaboration
Give and receive design feedback, co-author projects and build on others' work respectfully.
Ideation
Generate, sketch and evaluate multiple design ideas before committing to a build.
Parametric Design
Define models in terms of variables, formulas and repetition using Codeblocks or similar.
Sustainability
Weigh material choice, energy and life-cycle impact when choosing how to design and make.
Make
3D Printing
Prepare a model for FDM printing — wall thickness, supports, orientation and bed adhesion.
Assembly
Combine printed, laser-cut or purchased parts into a finished object — joins, fasteners, fit.
Coding
Use block-based or text-based code to drive models, sensors, robots or on-screen projects.
Electronics
Wire breadboards, read schematics and simulate circuits before soldering hardware.
Iteration
Observe what a prototype does and doesn't do, then redesign and remake with evidence.
Prototyping
Translate a design into a working first attempt — cardboard, 3D print, quick sketch or code.
