La Fondation Dassault Systèmes Empowers Learning Experiences for Kids
In an era where technology and innovation shape the future, fostering a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) among young learners is more crucial than ever. La Fondation Dassault Systèmes is at the forefront of this mission, supporting not-for-profit initiatives that revolutionize education through immersive learning experiences. By providing financial support and hands-on involvement, the foundation empowers academic institutions, research organizations, and community programs to harness the power of virtual experiences. Among its many initiatives, two standout projects exemplify its commitment to shaping the future of STEM education: the YMCA teacher training program and Girlstart cohorts.

Inspiration and Challenges
Ladybirds are fascinating insects that kids and adults enjoy observing in the garden. For this month’s challenge, we wanted to showcase this remarkable creature and give it a Valentine’s Day twist by changing the shape of the spots to hearts. This cute 3D ladybird will be the perfect illustration for a Valentine’s card! Here is a video to guide you.
Do you want to see your students’ or your kids’ designs on SOLIDWORKS Education Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram? Share their A4K creation on social media, mentioning #ladybird AND #swa4k, and we might feature them on our channels!
