How it works

You assign. Students build at their own pace. You see where everyone is without walking the room.

1

Assign a lesson

Pick this week's build, or open a whole module so students work through it in order.

2

Students follow the steps

Kids join with a class code, tap their name, and work through each photo step in Tinkercad.

3

Earn Builder Badges

Every finished build earns a badge on their Quest Path. Your dashboard shows who's on step 34 and who's stuck on step 3.

See it in action

Students join with your class code and tap their name. No student emails, no passwords. You see everything from your teacher dashboard.
