Milt, I received your message that you called on Monday; sorry that I was not available to receive your call. So far for my CAD for Kids sessions I submitted a broad outline that needs to fleshed out: Day 1 Intro to Computer-aided Drafting/Design Intro to CAD Hardware/Software Day 2 Intro to AutoCAD Main Menu AutoCAD commands: – Creating entities (LINE, CIRCLE, ARC, POLYGON, etc.) – Manipulation (COPY, MOVE, etc.) Day 3 AutoCAD Commands – Cont'd – Editing – Dimensioning Day 4 Orthographic Projections – One & two view drawings Day 5 Orthographic Projections – Cont'd – Three view drawings Day 6 Intro to Plotting Project Assignment – (Ex.,Bird House) Day 7 Project Assignment – Cont'd Day 8 Project Assignment – Cont'd Day 9 Tour of Machine Shop facilities Demo of CAM Day 10 Tour of local Manufacturing Company As you can see I need to expand this with videos, demonstrations, projects, etc. The above IS NOT cast in concrete. I am open to suggestions. I plan to utilize Terry Wohlers' APPLYING AutoCAD R10 text since that is the Release installed and the texts are readily available. Randy mentioned in his 28-Apr-93 reply that various videos are available. Is there a list? How can I borrow these for my classes? Also, Randy said that a "Pedagogical Guide Binder" is available. How can get a copy of this? What other teacher aids are available? Do you have any suggestions for projects that would be appropriate for kids? Thanks for your help. Bob.
