Introduction

Here & There, Now & Then

This is all done in association with my Here & There, Now & Then Framework for Development and Education. In summary, this framework says whatever we research, develop, and deploy here should be neutral if not positive across space and time for people here and now, in our area and era, and for people there and then, in a different area and era.

Background

Below are some educational resources that can be shared with students during outreach. I also have them on my website. Here is the link to the discovery page where I’ll continue to add new resources. https://deygana.org/discovery/. The website is online, but under construction right now because I’m rearranging some things, but all the information is still available there and in this document:

Here are some free resources you can start with:

3D modeling software:

TinkerCAD 3D-> https://www.tinkercad.com/

Requirements

• This website is free
• It can be accessed on a tablet, computer, or phone.
  • I wouldn’t use it on my phone personally because my screen is small, but the software will still run well.
  • You need an account to use this website
• Anyone any age who can use a phone, tablet, or computer in a basic way can use this software.
  • Only a little English is required to access the software but once you’re in, no English is required to use it.

Resources

• Here is a 9 minute video explaining how TinkerCAD works -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOs6Mdj7y_4
