    Overview and Objectives

    Let’s create our own algorithms for 3D models!

    In this lesson, students will:

    • Build a 3D model of their choice.
    • Create an algorithm that provides step-by-step instructions for building their model.
    • Use the engineering design process to improve their algorithm.
