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.
