With this I learned a couple more tools to help improve my 3D modeling process including the loop cut tool, Boolean operator, and the knife tool as well as a couple keyboard short cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through learning Blender I was able to host two 3D modeling workshops. In the first workshop, I taught students how to 3D model a pumpkin, and in the second I taught students how to 3D model and print a gift box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"46871\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-203013-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-203013-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-203013-750x422.png 750w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-203013-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2024-11-21-203013.png 1279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"833\" data-id=\"46872\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Image-2-1024x833.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Image-2-1024x833.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Image-2-615x500.jpg 615w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Image-2-768x625.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Image-2-1536x1250.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Image-2.jpg 2012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"46874\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2025\/05\/Image-3-edited-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46874\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I had a very productive year that has allowed me to expand upon previous skills so that I was able to either teach others or apply these skills to my own projects.
