3D Spatial Visualization for Young Engineers

Boost your child's spatial intelligence with my 2 week course where they'll gain invaluable skills in spatial sense, isometric and orthographic cube stacking, and the art of creating simple engineering drawings.

Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12

Beginner Level

What is Spatial Visualization? It is the ability to mentally manipulate 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional figures. This is an important skill that all engineers must have!

OVERVIEW
In this course, we will introduce the concept of spatial visualization, why it is important, and begin flexing our spatial visualization muscles. In week 1, we will start with learning how to draw cube stacks from coded plans. We will build on this by rotating these cube stacks in our mind and we will learn how to...

This class is taught in English.

Students will improve their spatial visualization skills and they will learn how to use this skill in an engineering application

I am an environmental engineer with a B.S. in Environmental Engineering.

Homework Offered
Every class will have assigned worksheets. We will try to start them in class if we have time but they are meant to be done at home. Spatial sense is a muscle that requires practice and these worksheets help your student flex their muscles. The homework is not required and is only meant to be helpful. Solutions will be provided after class so your student can check their work.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
