Mentor Software Access

[craigboez]

As a mentor, what is the best way to get access to SolidWorks? I use Inventor at my job and don't have access to a seat of SW but as the students start using it and have SW-specific related questions I'd like to be able to assist.

This (http://www.solidworks.com/sw/education/home-school-software-cad.htm) page suggests purchasing the Student Edition, which I'm ok with, just more wondering if that is the proper/recommended path.

Anybody know?

Your team can apply for SolidWorks sponsorship here (http://www.solidworks.com/sw/education/robot-student-design-contest.htm). SolidWorks has been very generous in providing our team with as many copies of the software as we've needed so that every interested team member can learn how to use the program.
