WINDMILL

Design and simulate a windmill circuit using

Tinkercad, learn about electricity, circuits and
motors and create a program to control the
windmill's blades.

CAPSTONE PROJECT

Session 1: Designing the Windmill Model

Activities
1. Introduction to Tinkercad and 3D Design

Task: Learn how to use Tinkercad for 3D design by exploring its interface and tools.

Skills Practiced
n Understanding the workplane in Tinkercad.

n Using basic 3D shapes (box, cylinder, sphere) to create models.

2. Building the Windmill Structure
Task: Design the basic structure of a windmill by combining 3D shapes to create the tower

and blades.
n Use a box to create the base (tower) of the windmill.

n Use cylinders for the windmill's blades.
n Customise the sizes and arrange the shapes to form a complete windmill.

Skills Practiced

n Resizing and positioning shapes to design the windmill.
n Customising colours and shapes in Tinkercad.

Outcome for Session 1

A 3D model of a windmill with blades and a tower.

Session 2: Programming the Windmill’s Movement
Activities

1. Introduction to Codeblocks for Controlling Movement

Task: Learn how to use Tinkercad Codeblocks to program the movement of the windmill
blades.
