Tinkercad
This website allows 3D models to be constructed, modified and exported to 3D printable formats. The software can be used for 3D editing, circuit design and testing, and block coding. Along with the designing circuits and coding, this site has a simulator built into the dashboard for creating and testing circuits in an online virtual area. It also incorporates the use of an Arduino microcontroller. This site is regularly updated and can incorporate circuits and code blocks. Through this site, one can create virtual robots and test virtual codes and circuits with minimal equipment. Users must create an account which is free of charge.
