Other than that, I'd be really enthusiastic about an event like that in the FIRST community!

You can get Solidworks and Autodesk products free for educational use.
I have to say that even with all of SW's simulation tools, I use only one (the bending analysis) and then only when I really have to. It's just a lot to learn for anybody without a few years their belt already, and it takes time to learn.
