Engineering Designing with CAD (Grades 5-8)

Does your son or daughter love computers and drawing? Perhaps considering a job someday in the fields of engineering design, computer science or manufacturing technology? This might just be the class for them to foster those interests! Students will learn to design and create computer drawings utilizing a CAD (Computer Assisted Drafting) engineering design software.  

The younger students will learn how to use the software to program and design various items such as toys, a play center that one would see at a park, in addition to learning how to create buildings in a city.  The older students will learn how to design a home, a layout of a home, add furniture and other decorative items. They will also learn to design a simple home exterior, kitchen, custom rooms, and more. 
 
NOTE:  Students will work virtually increasing their skills in mathematics, technology and engineering. Students must also have their own computer (PC, MAC, or Chromebook) or tablet and Internet Access for software to work. Software will not work on a Cell phone.  Students must download the SketchUp software, and have a Google Chrome and a gmail account.
