Previously I have used PCad - I am used to creating my own library files; I would prefer to use off the shelf files but usually they didn't have the right part.

Picking up with Altium, I only see two libraries in the default distribution.
Can someone please point me to where I can get current component libraries?

This year we prototyped a circuit to turn a flashlight on and off through the RoboRio. With enough knowledge, I am hoping to interest the students in starting to produce actual circuit boards.

Google is your friend:
https://techdocs.altium.com/display/...load+Libraries
https://designcontent.live.altium.com

Aside from those, you can use the component wizard and then make your own. It's not terrible.

Really, if I could just get a copy of PCad I think I would be better off!

I suspect you can find copies of it on eBay but I could be wrong.
