At our museum, which works with multiple cohorts of kids across many schools, it's convenient for us to have just 1 Tinkercad student account per cohort, rather than per student. Our hope is that all the students in a cohort will be able to simultaneously log into the same student account, and work on separate projects within that account. That brings me to the question: How many computers can be simultaneously logged into a single student account?
Thanks!
To our knowledge, there is no limit. Many teachers over the years had managed classrooms this way.
One thing to note, its very common that important designs get deleted using this method.
Can you explain your motivation for working this way? We have a lot of tools to enable you to create accounts quickly and view all the users work.

Thank you, Wayne. The motivation is that sometimes new students transfer into cohorts without notice. In a workflow where each student has their own account, this would require an educator to make a new account for that student on the spot, and not all educators are comfortable enough with Tinkercad's classroom features to do that.
I'd love to try out a different method if you recommend one, based on our circumstances.
Thank you again!
Our new Classroom feature enables educators to create 'seat' account for users within minutes. it even gives the ability to upload a spreadsheet. We build this functionality with to help with camps and makerlabs, who don't have the time to go through the regular account creation process.
These seats are sub-account owned by the teacher, so they are very versatile and easy to use. We also updated the tool recently to enable mixed classes between seats and normal Tinkercad accounts- https://blog.tinkercad.com/tinkercad-classrooms-for-everyone
I think Classrooms could help you manage your groups more effectively that single accounts.
