Intro to CAD - SketchUp Basics

  • This class meets remotely (map)

Who is this class for:
This course is open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men of any skill level without a prerequisite.

Description: 
You’ve built your first few projects and are ready to level up. Wouldn’t it be nice to customize a design yourself? A set of plans are critical before you jump into any project, but how do you effectively convey construction information? In this course we’ll teach you how to β€œbuild” your project in 3-D virtual space and then how to share your construction information professionally and effectively using a 2-D layout program. SketchUp is useful for carpenters and woodworkers alike.

Previous Computer Aided Design is not required for this course, however comfort using a computer and virtual meeting software is required. Tutorials are available by request prior to class.

This course meets virtually from 5:30 - 8:00 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, Feb. 26 - Mar. 20. 

Virtual meet links provided upon registration.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
