A program for students in Central Virginia dedicated to teaching young men and women about all of the industrious uses of creativity. We are currently developing a piano design. We practice drafting from board, to CAD, to product. We CNC, Lasercut, Sculpt, and 3d Print our creations and thinks of new ways to Make a better world.

CAD drafting
We had some debate about which programs the students would use for Computer Aided Drafting, CAD. We toyed with several free options like DraftSight (Solidworks), TinkerCAD (Autodesk), FreeCAD, and a plethora of other options. In the end AUTODESK was the strongest candidate, and allowed for the students to learn at a industry standard. We start with teaching the basic language of CAD drafting. We teach the language in a practical, auditory, visual, and tactile interactive way. We step through successive drawings as students develop their skills with greater complexity.
