Basic CAD 2 (Computer Aided Design)

6th-12th

Nathan Brown

Course Description:  This is a basic intro to CAD (Computer Aided Design). This is the first time offering this class. Some of the things that will be included are a basic understanding of the metric system for measuring, the purpose of CAD including real-world applications, business ideas that come from turning ideas into tangible objects, some demonstrations with real-world CAD machines, and much more. TinkerCAD (www.TinkerCAD.com) will be the web-based software for creating students’ own designs. Students will be able to use motors, gears, and more from dissected household goods like printers and other items to be reused. The CAD software only requires web browser access to use. Work is saved in each student’s profile. There will be a TinkerCAD classroom that the students will join and then I will be able to download and print or assist students. Students will print an object to measure to verify they have the basic concept of use down. There will be a requirement to do a drawing of what will be created in TinkerCAD.

Course Length

What the length of this course is for the school year

  • Session - These classes may be attended for individual sessions. Once you sign up the teacher will keep you signed up. If you are unable to attend the next session please notify the teacher so they may offer that spot to somebody else.
  • Semester - These classes are offered in 15 week intervals. Like the School Year Classes, these classes build on the information that was taught in the previous classes you must join at the beginning of the semester and continue through the 15 weeks. If you are unable to continue you are still obligated to pay for the entire semester as that spot may no longer be filled.
  • School Year - Because these classes build on the information that was taught in the previous classes you must join at the beginning of the year and continue through the school year. If you are unable to continue you are still obligated to pay for the entire year as that spot may no longer be filled.
  • Open - You may join these classes at any time. As a courtesy you are still required to notify the teacher if you will no longer be attending.
