Unlock the power of parametric 3D modeling with this hands-on course designed for K-12 educators. Using Autodesk Fusion (formerly Fusion 360), participants will explore the fundamentals of CAD through engaging, real-life design projects that combine design thinking, spatial reasoning, and creativity.
Over 14 hours, participants will learn how to sketch, extrude, revolve, and manipulate 3D geometry using practical workflows. We'll focus on creating real-world projects such as rings, containers, custom accessories, and objects that could be printed, cut, or prototyped in the classroom. The course culminates in a hands-on final project, giving participants the opportunity to apply their skills to a personalized 3D design.
