Audition Assessment : Spatial Relations and 3D Thinking.
Students will have 10 minutes to complete the following Activity: 3D Vehicle/Car Design
Objective: Design a simple car chassis in Tinker Cad’s 3D Design workspace.
Task:
1. Build a basic car structure with defined dimensions (50mm X 50mm X 30mm) and choose strong materials for the vehicle and its wheels .
2. Add features: moving wheels and axles- the car must roll when exposed to gravity (in TinkerCad).
3. Build a concrete ramp with dimensions of 110mm X 108mm.
Evaluation Criteria:
•.The vehicle MUST roll when gravity is applied.
• Creativity, problem-solving, and adherence to given dimensions
• Understanding of spatial relations (alignment and connections).

|
Needs Improvement (1)
|
Vehicle rolls under gravity
|
Vehicle rolls smoothly under gravity without external assistance.
|
Vehicle rolls under gravity but with slight assistance or minor adjustments.
|
Vehicle rolls under gravity with noticeable assistance or adjustments.
|
Vehicle does not roll under gravity or requires significant assistance.
|
Creativity and Problem-Solving
|
Highly creative design with innovative problem-solving techniques demonstrated.
|
Creative design with effective problem-solving techniques demonstrated.
|
Basic creative elements and some problem-solving techniques are evident.
|
Limited creativity or problem-solving techniques demonstrated.
|
Adherence to Given Dimensions
|
All dimensions are perfectly adhered to as per the task instructions.
|
Most dimensions are adhered to with minor deviations (within 10% of the specified dimensions).
|
Dimensions are followed but with noticeable deviations (10%-20% off).
|
Dimensions are not followed (deviations exceed 20%).
|
Understanding of Spatial Relations (Alignment and Connections)
|
Excellent alignment and connections; demonstrates a strong understanding of spatial relations.
|
Good alignment and connections; demonstrates an adequate understanding of spatial relations.
|
Satisfactory alignment and connections; some understanding of spatial relations.
|
Poor alignment and connections; limited understanding of spatial relations.
