Introduction to Google Sketchup - CAD
<p>This resource has been designed to introduce students to CAD CAM and teach them the basics of using Google Sketchup specifically with product design in mind.</p>
<p>This 30 page slideshow and accompanying booklet will guide students through first understanding what CAD is and then teaching them how to use Google sketchup. The slides have step by step screenshots with written instructions that allow students to work at their own pace.</p>
<p>I have used this resource for the past three years and it has really helped my students learn how to use sketchup and design prototypes for their projects. My GCSE students still refer to it when creating joints or CAD modelling for their coursework.</p>
<p>The resource doesn’t require much teaching but will work better if the teacher can demonstrate the steps on a projected screen first. Can also be used as cover if required.</p>
<p>All the slides are editable.</p>
