Welcome to the WHS IDEA Class
We're going to learn about and create some great things in this class. We'll use Inventor and Illustrator to design and plan builds in the future. These future projects will use a laser, 3D printing, or the CNC mill or router.

Inventor is a design application used for 3D design and visualization. It's a tool that will help students plan and visualize something they are going to build.
Individual ProjectsIn the IDEA class, students will have several individual projects. The projects in order are Laser, Vinyl, 3D Print, CNC Mill, and CNC Router. If there is time, students will have a Final Project.

Illustrator is another design application. Students can use this program to create logos, icons, drawings, and other complex designs.
Final ProjectAfter completing all previous projects, students will have a Final Project. Students will use all they have learned throughout the class to create something special.

IDEA - Innovation, Design, Engineering, Art.
All the Tools You Need to Succeed
To be successful in IDEA, you need to keep track of all your work and document everything you do. You need to save your files to google drive so that they can be accessed from home and at school. If you forget to take screenshots and document your progress, it will be tough to recover everything you need.
|
Besides keeping track of your work, you must come into class prepared to focus on what you need to get done. This is especially important this semester due to the fact that each class is only 50 minutes long.
