2025 STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

For this project, I created my own 3D town using Tinkercad. I designed every building, street, and park from scratch, thinking carefully about how people would live, work, and move around the town. My goal was to build a place that is both fun and functional, where everything is connected and makes sense.

WHY?

I chose this project because I enjoy using technology to create things, and I’m interested in architecture and city planning. Tinkercad allowed me to bring my ideas to life in 3D, and it was exciting to see my town come together as I added more details.

HOW?

I started by sketching out ideas on paper, deciding where to place roads, buildings, and parks. Then I used Tinkercad to build each part, using basic shapes and combining them to make more complex structures. I paid attention to scale and proportion so that everything looked realistic. I also made sure there were sidewalks, trees, and open spaces to make the town feel welcoming.

WHAT?

I learned that designing a town takes a lot of planning and attention to detail. Small changes, like where you place a road or a park, can make a big difference in how the town functions. I also realized that using 3D design tools like Tinkercad helps me think more deeply about space and structure.

SO WHAT?

My project shows that with creativity and the right tools, students can design thoughtful and realistic models of communities. It helped me understand the importance of planning and design in making places where people can live happily and safely.

WHAT'S NEXT?

In the future, I would like to add more features to my town, like public transportation systems, renewable energy sources, and smart technology. I’m also interested in learning how to 3D print my design so I can build a physical model of my town.

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I used my own ideas and creativity to design the town. Thank you to my teacher for introducing me to Tinkercad and supporting me throughout the project.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

You did a fantastic job designing a town in Tinkercad! Your 3D model shows great creativity and careful planning. I love how you used different shapes and colors to make your town look lively and realistic. One way to improve your project would be to add more details like roads, trees, or buildings with different functions to make your town even more interesting. Also, thinking about how people would use the spaces in your town shows strong problem-solving and design thinking. Keep up the amazing work—your project is a wonderful example of how art and technology can work together to create something special!
