This is followed by an engineering component, where student adjust design specifications and see the results in a 3D CAD model. The Teacher Control Center allows teachers to monitor progress and provide feedback throughout the process.Įach challenge begins with a research section to learn the specific content necessary, such as learning about wind before building wind turbines. Students engage in engineering challenges such as building gliders, wind turbines, or "green" cars within a predetermined set of constraints. Then they engage in an engineering design process as they research, design, analyze, simulate, and build or 3D-print their models. WhiteBox Learning blends digital and hands-on experiences while kids explore STEM applications.
Wonderful questions are embedded in the Knowledge at Work research section. Unfortunately, they are immediately followed by explanations without giving students a chance to figure it out first. Teachers can use these as driving questions prior to beginning research work for the day. For example, a teacher could project a picture of a wind turbine blade and ask, "Why did the engineer design this blade to be smaller at the tip?" Give the class time to discuss their ideas and then begin their Blade Span and Chord research lesson. Middle school teachers who teach integrated science will love the way the KidWind application blends together physical and earth science concepts along with engineering practices. The Teaching Aids section provides details for each application, including a three-week lesson plan. It's an engaging solution to the science and engineering performance expectations from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). In any case, I would make a point of making a list of the most direct route to the bare minimum commands that you would be using and keep it very handy until you memorize it (line, circle, rectangle, offset, fillet, blah blah blah) that way you can hopefully operate from the command line (keyboard commands) and not have to futz around with menus and icons and the like.WhiteBox Learning works best when woven in with an existing curriculum.

If you end up with an Autodesk product of some flavor feel free to hit me up with questions, iv been using civil3d full time for a little over 5 years now, so I know my way around pretty well :) the various Autodesk and 3rd party forums are also pretty vast for technical support. I'm kind of spoiled because my job is autocad 8-10 hours a day, so I take it for granted = I know people that have 'aquired' copies, search your feelings on that front. Is there perhaps a university bookstore nearby that you can buy from (or incentivize a student to do said buying)? That might get you a reduced power student version for cheaper. I played with it a tiny bit quite a few years ago when a friend bought his PlasmaCAM, but I haven't touched it in probably 10 years or more. You might be able to locate someone with the program to see if it's worth the investment for what you want to do.

It's not cheap however ( don't know if they have a trial version or not). If you are looking to do cut programs for CNC plasma, Plasmacam is supposed to have a fairly simple program that lets you quickly draw up cut files and so on with out a ton of the engineering stuff other cad type programs have. The newer ones are somewhat easier to use with the pull downs, but I still use most of the text commands I learned originally since I can't always find the pull downs I want. My "current" full edition is something like Autocad 2000. He did most of his work on the newer version, then saved it as an older format my version would accept and we printed from my computer with no issues. My helper told me he could access all the functions, but if he went to print, the free version had a water mark that covered the drawings.

You used to be able to download Autocad for free as a student or trial version.
