CAD Summer Camp at San Mateo Library

Description

Ever wondered how objects in your daily life are made? It all starts with an idea and a 3D model. Learn how to create and design in 3D with CAD (computer-aided design) and become your own inventor! This progressive camp will encompass a four-week span in July. Due to the camp’s progressive nature, workshop attendees will need to join each of the sessions to accumulate and retain CAD modeling skills. 

Each week, one workshop will be provided for registered attendees on a Friday from 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM.This summer camp is free of charge for middle school and high school students.

We will be using the OnShape platform for CAD modeling.

Course Syllabus:

Week 1 (July 7): Introduction, Sketching, and Planning 

Week 2 (July 14): Basic Tools

Week 3 (July 21): Complex Shapes

Week 4 (July 28): Assemblies
