The final lesson really put everything together. I was able to create a tower/castle. This is a great introductory project. It was not easy and introduced all of the needed terms to complete any Tinkercad assignment.

Lesson 4: Making and Manipulating Group Objects

# data[].attributes.body
This skill is where I really struggled when I attempted the time capsule. I know how to group but I could not figure out how to move the group objects once they were grouped. This lesson was very helpful as we built two different objects -- a heart and a house. I can see how this will help immensely in the other more difficult projects.

I learned a lot in this lesson related to math. We talked about translations, scales, and how to use your hand for the x, y, and z axis.

Lesson 2: Testing Your New Navigation Skills

This lesson was super simple but a great way to introduce and practice our skills. I had to follow a "scavenger hunt" to find the words using the navigation viewbox.

I immediately felt better about this one. It had a great description and included images that some of the other projects did not. This lesson was great. I learned different theories and why certain tools did what they did. It was a great introductory lesson. If I were to have my students do this, I would have them take to fill in the blank notes during the lesson and then spend the rest of the class simply exploring what they learned from that individual lesson.

This project is split into five lessons focusing on the most important parts of Tinkercad.

# data[].attributes.body
I attempted both the time capsule and superhero costumes but realized I'm not quite ready for those kind of projects yet. I completed the tutorials (the starters that Dr. Oliver recommended) and the somewhat easy (still made lots of mistakes) ruler. I decided this project I would focus on the basics as if I was a student learning this for the first time (which I am).

# data[].attributes.body
My ruler is by no means perfect and would definitely require some work. My tick marks are not lining up which caused a problem. Overall though for my first try not too bad!

# data[].attributes.body
I messed something up along the way where all of the little roofs are not even.

# data[].attributes.body
The copy and paste tool made this very easy. I just had to change some sizes but they all went into their place easily this time.

# data[].attributes.body
It took me a long time to get the roof into the orange outline. I would approach it from one angle and think I got it. But really it wasn't anywhere close.

# data[].attributes.body
Things went much more smooth this time. I was finally able to see the cylinder outlines when I moved the view box around. I realized how important it was to actually zoom in and out and change viewpoints.

# data[].attributes.body
The last step of #4 is to copy and paste the cylinders to the orange outline. I could not find any orange outline. I then realized that my shapes were not lined up. I decided that I had gained a ltitle more understanding of the concept and wanted to start from scratch. I could have gone back and went through every direction again to see if I could figure it out but I decided back to the start it was.

# data[].attributes.body
The tutorial really helped as I knew where to find all of the needed materials. I am still not sure what changing the snap grid does but steps 1-3 were pretty easy. The second step was to make the box. It helped once I figured out that I could manually input the dimensions rather than drag. Same for the cylinder.

# data[].attributes.body
I was really happy to see that the instructions on the left side of the screen were set up in the same way that the tutorials were. I knew I could do this with explicit instructions. This would be great for students who wanted to try something on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
I was very interested in the more intense projects that Tinkercad offers like building a Tinkercad house. However, I figured it was best to start with a more simple project first. I decided to go with the ruler.

I am new to Tinkercad so I worked through the tutorials before beginning my two projects. This was very helpful!
