CADventures in 3D

Are you a middle school student interested in creating three-dimensional models using computer software? This workshop is for you! In this hands-on, project-based course, students explore the exciting world of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), 3D printing, and computer-based engineering. Using beginner-friendly design software, Onshape, students learn how to create and manipulate 3D models using Onshape. Then, they turn these models into real, physical objects using a 3D printer. Students will develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and engineering thinking as they design and print custom projects. Along the way, they will learn how engineers, architects, and product designers use CAD technology to solve real-world problems.
