AutoCAD 2D & 3D Course for Kids
Definition
• Kids learn how to draw shapes and designs on the computer. It’s like using a digital ruler and pencil!
•They start with flat 2D drawings, then move to 3D models. It helps them understand both simple and real-world designs.
• AutoCAD is used by architects and engineers. Kids get a fun start in design and construction tools.
• They learn to measure, plan, and draw carefully. This builds patience and attention to detail.
• Kids can design houses, furniture, or fun objects. It lets their creative ideas take shape.
• AutoCAD uses shapes, angles, and sizes. This makes math fun and useful in real ways.
• Learning AutoCAD early builds skills for jobs in architecture, design, and engineering. It’s a great head start for creative and technical fields.
Importance
• Kids learn to create shapes, plans, and models using AutoCAD. It’s like digital drawing made smart and fun!
• They use lines, angles, and measurements in real drawings. This makes math more exciting and useful.
• Designing with AutoCAD needs careful planning. It helps kids stay focused and think clearly.
• They see how 2D and 3D designs are used in real life. It builds curiosity about engineering and architecture.
• Kids use real design tools like professionals. This gives them a smart head start in tech skills.
• They create their own houses, machines, or models. It lets them turn big ideas into real drawings.
• AutoCAD is used by engineers, designers, and architects. Learning it early opens doors to future career paths.
Advantages for Freelancing
• Kids learn how to create 2D and 3D shapes using AutoCAD. It’s like drawing with perfect lines on a digital paper!
• They explore how buildings, machines, and models are made. It gives them a fun start in architecture and design.
• Designing in AutoCAD needs attention and planning. It helps kids think clearly and solve problems.
• They use real design tools that engineers and architects use. This builds confidence in working with digital software.
• Kids turn their ideas into real 2D or 3D designs. They can build their dream house or cool inventions!
• Designing models is like playing and learning together. It keeps kids excited and curious throughout the course.
• AutoCAD is used in engineering, architecture, and design jobs. Learning it early gives kids a strong head start.
Session 1 : Introduction to AutoCAD and Basic Concepts
What is AutoCAD and where it’s used in real life (architecture, engineering, design)
Real-life example: Designing a floor plan of a small house
Setting up AutoCAD and exploring the workspace (ribbons, menus, toolbars)
Understanding 2D vs 3D design basics
Activity: Open AutoCAD and create your first simple 2D line
Session 2 : Basic 2D Drawing Tools and Techniques
Learning essential 2D drawing tools: line, circle, rectangle, arc
Real-life example: Drawing a basic room layout
Using Object Snap, Ortho Mode, and Polar Tracking
