Hello! I am helping a school district write a grant for a CNC Plasma Table. We are looking for CAD/CAM curriculum to support learning for the table, preferably digital and self-paced.
I know there are dozens of YouTube videos and random free courses available online but we are looking for courses that are a little more structured with possible accountability checkpoints built in. Gotta make sure those high school kids are doing the work
Let me know if you have any recommendations. Thank you!

I don’t know if you know this… but we built and maintain a very nice CNC plasma table. I would recommend getting with our fundraising committee, and the metal shop. We have to move that beast soon and if any high school students need service hours than helping a makerspace move is more fun than mowing old miss Nelson’s yard. I’m going to move this topic to the metal shop and let the fund raiser committee know about it and watch with intrest

Thanks, James! I do know about the member-made table. I took the class at MakeICT too! Thanks for moving the post to metal shop.
Do you have a particular software requirement? I think pretty much all of the courses you will find will be based on a specific piece of software.

Hi, Christian! I believe they are leaning towards AutoCad for the design software but were wanting to research different options for CAD courses.
Might try WSU. I know that NIAR is giving classes at high schools for CATIA. I think they also do autocad… but not at NIAR. Get with me and I will give you an email for Shawn at NIAR.
