This project has been tested with year 7 classes at our school but it should work for older students also. This is a non-selective girls’ school, which does not stream abilities.  In general this project has given especially girls with poorer hand-drawing skills an enormous boost.

Your students will get an introduction to the drawing tools and some of the 3D tools of ProDesktop. They will learn about workplanes, surfaces and how to create an assembly/rendering.

The files for this project contain ...

• scheme of work with starters, plenaries and homework
• An introductory worksheet with brief and keyword bingo to be used during the initial demonstration
• handouts to be used by the students to work at their own pace, one of them offering extension tasks for the more able
• Powerpoint presentation to introduce CAD/CAM and stereolithography
• Keywordsearch and cloze exercise for CAD/CAM
