SolidWorks World 2012 woke over 5000 users this morning to a rock – hip-hop dancing robot video.  The NAO robot, designed by SolidWorks customer, Aldebaran Robotics, instructed Bertrand Sicot, president and CEO of DS SolidWorks Corp. <\/p>\n

There are now over 1.7 million users in the SolidWorks Community – engineers, designers, manufacturers, educators and students.  We reached a milestone of over 50,000 certified users, Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA), Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP and Certified SolidWorks Expert (CSWE). <\/p>\n

You can find out more about all the speakers on the SolidWorks blog <\/a>. <\/a><\/p>\n

Mike Rowe (Discovery TV's Dirty Jobs) was a surprised guest, spoke on the need for skilled workers as he had testified to Congress<\/a> about the lack of tradespeople and vocational programs that are being closed due to lack of funds.<\/p>\n

Last night at the partner pavillion I was introduced to Tom Atchison and his amazing rocket – yes rocket, that was designed in SolidWorks and on display the Partner Pavilion.  He is inspiring not only young students in engineering and science but also their community.<\/p>\n

 Still having fun.  Marie<\/p>\n
