Hello, Everyone!
Please see the message below and the attachment from Solidworks. I know that several of you have mentioned that you are using this CAD product in your classrooms, so this should be very exciting news. It gives others of you a chance to try them out to see if their software is a good fit for your students.
Please note that the form is to be sent back directly to Solidworks. The name and email address is on the top of the form.
Have a safe and restful holiday,

Hi US FIRST Regional Directors,
Over the past month, SolidWorks Corporation has received numerous requests from US FIRST teams to obtain SolidWorks software. As a result, SolidWorks Corporation will offer the SolidWorks Student Design Kit (SDK) software to any US FIRST team that utilizes SolidWorks software for their design, with a local machine shop and or works with an industry mentor who utilizes SolidWorks. Our package to all US FIRST teams includes:
1 SolidWorks Student Design KIT (SDK) will run for 150 days and can be installed on all computers in a classroom.
1 Curriculum and Courseware DVD for teacher training, including PowerPoint presentations and additional projects
Access to our elearning tutorials for students
Access to our STEM Teacher Blog with additional robot modeling examples
Access
www.3DContentCentral.com containing 3D models in a variety of formats of SMC components and other manufactures
We only ask for use of our “Design with SolidWorks” sticker on the team robot and a jpeg picture of the finished robot for our Photo gallery.
Attached is the form to forward to your teams. Please email the form back to Christine Morse, copied on this email.
Enjoy the holidays with your friends and family. Best wishes for a successful robot competition.
Regards,
Marie
