What it is
Autodesk's free studio lets students drag shapes into printable 3D models, wire virtual Arduino circuits that actually simulate, and prototype ideas long before touching hardware. Classes feature makes rostering painless and keeps student designs in one moderated place.
Notable features
- 3D printing ready
- Circuit simulator
- Classroom rosters
A way to use it
Run the circuit simulator before any physical breadboarding; students arrive at the real thing already fluent.
Privacy and accounts
Free classes with teacher moderation and school safe accounts.
