Commitment to Education is a Core Part of our DNA.
Today, SOLIDWORKS is used by millions of educators and students around the world. SOLIDWORKS is a cornerstone of many educational programs and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities that have inspired students to pursue careers in design and engineering.
SOLIDWORKS is generally used at a high school level or above. So for younger children, we decided to create SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids! SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids is a collection of apps that makes many aspects of the engineering process accessible to kids as young as four. Whether it’s design and making, mechanics, or just inspiring creativity, SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids is a great way to teach and engage children!
As SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids grows, we will be providing more tools specifically dedicated to educators. These tools will help educators deliver high-quality learning curriculum, and help them continue to inspire and engage kids in STEM and STEAM (adding Art into the mix) activities.
Take a tour of our current apps in the video gallery and see how you and your students can utilize the SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids ecosystem today!
