210. What app should I use when 3D printing with younger students?

About this episode

Naomi Meredith discusses the best app for 3D printing with younger students and shares lesson ideas and tips.

Have you wanted to 3D print with younger students but realized Tinkercad is too hard for them? Trust me, I've been there too! I love Tinkercad and prefer using it starting with 2nd graders. But for my younger students and one-day challenges, I prefer using Doodle 3D Transform. I'll be digging more into this app and sharing some lesson ideas along with tips when using it, including multi-color printing!
