Our first course in our new space was a success!
Jack Sutter did a great job teaching everyone how to use Autodesk Fusion 360, a free CAD software that students can now use to design parts and print them on a 3D printer.

This photo represents a huge amount of growth for our organization. After changing locations and being down for six months, this course marks a major milestone: our first class in the new space! It’s great to see students learning how to leverage technology and use their computers as powerful tools for design and creation. Big thanks to Jack for leading an awesome course, and we can’t wait to host the next one.
