First hands-on CAD course at Penn: SolidWorks fundamentals, 3D modeling, digital fabrication. Three small projects that built the foundation for everything that came after.

  • Fidget spinner: first solo SolidWorks design from scratch
  • Crowbar: feature-driven parametric modeling
  • Toy dissect (team): reverse-engineered a physical object in CAD
