Abstract: The article discusses the use of Tinkercad, a free 3D simulation platform, to foster interdisciplinary STEM learning in middle school classrooms through hands-on design and problem-solving activities. Topics include the advantages of interdisciplinary STEM education, strategies for using Tinkercad effectively in teaching, and a detailed classroom activity emphasizing the iterative engineering design process.
