This summer, James and lead CAD instructor, Ashley Lewis, opened their doors to create summer camps for kids at all age levels.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Alamance Community College Summer Camp with SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The youngest new designers used SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids to create models and 3D Print their new creations.\u00a0 Teachers can sign up for SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids classroom for free and share fun STEM based learning projects with their students.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Older students were introduced to the engineering design process with SOLIDWORKS.\u00a0 SOLIDWORKS is used by employers in the areas on Winston-Salem, High Point, and throughout\u00a0 Burlington County, NC where the college serves local industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A big focus on summer camp was to teach students that “it’s ok to fail and learn from your mistakes”\u00a0 you can use SOLIDWORKS to recover from design issues and create a better product.<\/p>\n

Thank you James and Ashley for inspiring our youngest STEM advocates and sharing your story with the SOLIDWORKS community.<\/p>\n

Design well, Marie<\/p>\n
