Welcome To CAD For Kids!
Games
Practice Building
Free Design
Users can design anything with access to tools, materials, and design shapes.
Problem solving games are designed to help kids understand basic principles of materials, design, and engineering.
These tutorials help kids learn how to use CAD tools to build simple machines, models, and prototypes.
