The 3D Modeling/Printing workshop will utilize an Industry Certified Software Program, AutoDesk Inventor Professional. Students at Henderson Middle School are utilizing this program in all of their courses to complete problem based activities assigned by their instructors. AutoDesk Inventor is a free program. This allows students and families to use this program at home to complete assignments. Students will then be able to use the MakerBot 3D Printers in the library to print off their assignments. Instructing parents on how to use AutoDesk Inventor Professional will provide an advantage to those parents looking to become more involved in their child's education at Henderson Middle School.
