Summary - Out now

Developing sketching, drawing and computer modelling skills using CAD software.

This hands-on unit follows a series of easy-to-follow tasks that develop students’ drawing and modelling skills. The unit moves quickly from basic to advanced drawing and modelling activities offering an easily extendable variety of skills based lessons. Students are encouraged to work out which is the most appropriate format to use for specific tasks. The unit concludes in the development of CAD models using freely available software.

Access to a computer suite will be required for the final challenge in SketchUp.

A support tutorial is included for students to use the new online version of SketchUp at home.

  • Detailed lesson plans
  • Learning objectives and outcomes
  • Statement of which of the Government Guidelines are covered in the unit
  • Worksheets and activities

  • Other material and links to online resources

What people say...

Thank you so much for making something that seemed daunting, so manageable and teachable.

Miss Catriona O’Connor. Design and Technology Teacher, Redruth School

I have been pleased with the quality of the resources. Your excellent resources have been a great timesaver and have really helped with planning lessons especially for lessons being delivered by people who are not subject specialists.

Mr Dave Baron. Head of Computer Science, Treviglas Academy
