Session description

Tinkercad will announce the introduction of a physics environment that will allow teachers/students to simulate the behaviors of their designs under gravity and exposure to other forces. With the introduction of first person viewing, this has the potential to convert the design process into a gamified experience.

Purpose & objective

Attendees will get introduced to the new physics workspace and see examples that can help on STEAM activities.
This workspace is not available yet (will be presented at ISTE), so there are yet no materials available to public.
Tinkercad has already inspired over 55 million students along the 10 years of existence. With over 6 million monthly active students and almost a million of registered teachers worldwide, it has ensured democratized access to design tools that inspire and open up opportunities.
