PROJECT IGNITE offers hands-on projects
integrated with the web's leading maker apps,
Tinkercad and 123D Circuits,
to help bring 3D design, electronics, and more into classrooms.
Our main focus is Key through 12,
Sort of the foundational years.
What I’ve seen with PROJECT IGNITE
and using the programs in 3D design with students,
many of the students had excelled in what they’re doing.
They become the leaders in the class.
They become the teachers to be able to share with other students
at their table what they've learned.
You get a lot of ideas from your friends
that inspire you to make even cooler things.
I love designing things in Tinkercad
and uploading them to mycraft.
It engages them immediately.
It’s their world.
These are kid I see from kindergarten through 8th grade.
They’ve grown up with technology completely.
And because of that, it is instinctive to them.
It addresses many of different disciplines that we teach.
It adds relevance to those subjects.
Instead of just doing worksheets on the paper in math,
you can teach that on the whiteboard.
but when you teach it in 3D design,
it takes on the whole different meaning for kids.
It is really a fun way to teach them and inspire them.
By integrating these apps with PROJECT IGNITE,
it bridges the abstract and real world
by allowing students to take their ideas from imagination to fabrication.
Keep it simple, make it fun,
and engage any learner with PROJECT IGNITE.
