To those we generally propose modeling in 3D a landmark building, wich they have ti recreate using their nascent skills. Other students prefer more guided projects. Looking ahead to the intriguing possibilities of 3D printing, we recently began the TIC em 3D project (ICT in 3D) to actively investigate pedagogical uses of 3d technologies, 3D printing, open hardware and STEM education.Ī simple house, whose walls are hiding painstakingly detailed interiors, all carefully modeled by the students We began with the 3DAlpha project, using 3D modeling, animation and virtual worlds with pupils aged 6 to 15 years old. Since 2009, we’ve been working in Portugal with successive generations of students using 3D technologies to learn ICT in a trandisciplinary setting, mixing arts, science, history and languages with project based learning. But can we go further? Can we use Sketchup as a teaching tool, sparking creativity in young children, exposing them to advanced tools and higher lever workflows, teaching them to overcome their limits with advanced tools, instilling them with useful knowledge in STEM areas, and also mixing arts with technology? Essentially, broadening horizons and teaching them to take ownership of digital technologies, beyond the corporate view of the user as mere consumer of digital trinkets? Sktechup, as we all know so well, is a very powerful 3d modeling tool with a range of applications from professional architecture and engineering to hobbyists.

One thing to check which ever route you go, is look at minimum specification - I think it's basically that you'll need to support OpenGL v3 or above, but do check - here seems to be the place. This is in addition to version targeted to GSuite schools - see.

I guess one question is do you need the pro version because they seem to offer a browser only version - see. We are also Office 365 with a traditional (legacy?!) Windows network.

If you look at, the West Berks listed contact may be able to help you out with regards licensing. Is there anyway to get Sketchup free for non Google suite school? Or is there a cost? We're Office 365 school.ĬheersBy coincidence, I was trying to install the Sketchup Pro (2017 version) on our server early today, with a view to pushing the install out to the ICT suite.
