Tinkercad
A free browser-based app for 3D design, electronics, and coding.
Tinkercad is a free web app for 3D design, electronics, and coding that runs in the browser without downloads. It supports project-based learning and hands-on making, from product models and printable parts to circuits and block-based programs. Lesson plans align with Common Core and NGSS standards, and the platform is KidSAFE COPPA certified with an ad-free environment.
The app is organized around three main tools: 3D Design for modelling and printable parts, Circuits for working with LEDs, buttons, breadboards, and other electronics, and Codeblocks for block-based coding that produces dynamic, parametric, and adaptive designs. Classroom tools and a curriculum library cover subjects including computer science, math, social studies, architecture, art and 3D design, and robotics.
Tinkercad is aimed at learners, makers, and educators, with resources for classroom use. It is free for everyone, with no downloads required.
