I’m as excited as anyone to celebrate the milestone, and I also enjoy a good backstory. In 2018, students spent a fun-filled week at the Boston Children’s Museum using Tinkercad to design replacement board game pieces for museum visitors Success built on simplicity In the last two schoolyears alone, half a million teachers have taught CAD, electronics, and coding in Tinkercad Classrooms. Our community of 35 million teachers, kids, hobbyists, and designers comes from every country in the world-collectively contributing more than 300 million unique designs. In fact, it’s the first step on many lifelong journeys in STEM fields. From 3D skyscraper models to code-generated snowflakes, if you can think it, you can make it with this tool. That’s the promise of Tinkercad, our free, easy-to-use web app for 3D design, electronics, and coding, which is today celebrating its 10 th birthday.

With Autodesk’s initiatives in education, we want to extend that invitation to anyone, of any skill level, anywhere in the world. She’s not just accepting the state of the world as it is she is confident she can make it better.

Encouraged by her middle-school STEM classes, a growing diversity of role models in media, and easy-to-use design tools, she sees herself as a capable designer and engineer. When my kids were young, I tried to encourage it all-because once they discovered the magic of design and invention, they were onto greater, occasionally sinister adventures around the house, like jerry rigging string lights on Christmas morning, reprogramming my car’s XM radio as an April Fool’s joke, and turning our house into an interactive music experience for my birthday, each room representing a different band and era.Įarlier this month, my daughter turned 12. And as anyone ever begins, they start simple: a LEGO kit, a crayon drawing, maybe a puzzle, always a mess.
