Tinkercad Car Design

There are many different types of vehicles that use wheel and axels to enable them to move. Each individual student or groups vehicle design can be tested uses an inclined plan to test distances traveled, accuracy (movement in straight line or does vehicle move to the right or left), and speed of the 3D printed vehicle. This project will enable the students to test Newton’s Laws of Motion in addition to the engineering standards outlined above.

This project prompts students to work in groups to design and print models using simple machines like wheel and axels, requires the students to develop a better understanding of the engineering design process, and practice using programs like Tinkercad that enable the students to practice skills that will benefit them in career and technical education (CTE) careers.
