3rd Grade Students Explore in 3D

Each year, 3rd grade students utilize computer-aided design software (CAD) to replicate a renowned landmark from the various states that they are studying in Social Studies. After designing their landmarks with the help of online software, students bring their landmarks to life using 3D printers. Each building requires approximately four to five hours to complete the printing process.

This year, students created designs for the following landmarks: the Civil War Museum in Georgia, the Denver Art Museum, the Olympic Center in New York, the Alaskan Zoo, and Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace, and many more and many more. This project is a highlight for WFS students as it enables them to transform their creative ideas into tangible objects, fostering hands-on learning and enhancing their understanding of design and engineering concepts.
