<p>I've also been scratching my head over how <a href="http://archive.fabacademy.org/2016/charlottelatin/students/999/about.html">Tom Dubick</a> takes a cohort of high school students through the Fab Academy every year. We need at least one Tom in every country. I noticed in his students' documentation that they go through a short Pre Fab course before starting the Fab Academy. So I thought it couldn't hurt to try it here, too.</p>

<p>I received a group of primary school students who were interested in 3D printing, so I showed them TinkerCAD and asked if they had email addresses to sign up. Some did, some couldn't remember, so instead of TinkerCAD I opened up the Part workbench in Ondsel and showed them how to make basic shapes, resize and move them to assemble what they wanted. After a little less than two hours, they had produced this:</p>
