3D Modeling, Coding & Design Learning Opportunities
for 4th, 5th & Middle School Students!
BlocksCAD, one of our LearnLaunch Partners is now offering a free personalized, self-paced online course for our interested students in your age group. This opportunity is (for the moment) limited to 3 users, who will receive 30 minutes of BlocksCAD coaching per week for 8-10 weeks, around your schedule, and based on your skills and interest areas of 3D design and coding. You will also receive two 3D printed models of projects you have created. This unique, individualized opportunity allows you to get your feet wet with coding and 3D modeling, or to advance your existing skill set and deepen your understanding. Please contact Director of Innovation, Mrs. Stowe, if you are interested. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
