From Idea to 3D Reality — A 7-Week SketchUp Journey
In this 7-week unit, you will learn how to turn ideas into 3D models using SketchUp for Schools. Starting from simple shapes, you will progress to designing complex objects and preparing them for 3D printing.
By the end, you will design your own real-life product that solves a problem or adds value to a service — exactly what 3D modeling is for.
