SolidWorks CAD Essentials
Details & Requirements
The Warbirds of Glory Museum is restoring a WWII B-25 Mitchell bomber in honor of our veterans that fought for our freedoms. The Museum includes veterans and youth in our restoration activities. We are passionate about mentoring our community’s youth in trade skills, workshop disciplines, and wholesome American values.
Our Kittyhawk Academy youth program is offering SolidWorks CAD Essentials training, free of charge, to students ages 14 and up. (Small charge for adults.) Conducted in a classroom setting, a volunteer from the aerospace industry will teach the students the essential basics of 3D CAD design using SolidWorks. By the end of the course, a student will be able to take a simple B-25 factory drawing from the 1940s and design the same part in CAD.
Limited to 10 students. (Adults limited to 5.) Application required. Please see details below.
