Introduction: Portable Slush Maker (Prototype)

I like slush drink, even at -30 degrees Celsius or lower. It’s perfect if there is a portable slush cup, so that I can enjoy the slush anytime :P

This is a sample for the STEAM project using the Tinkercad Codeblocks. This tool helps students to implement their ideas, instead of giving up trying due to a lack of required materials.

  • Height: 4 1/2 Inches
  • Capacity: 12 oz
