Google SketchUp is a FREE, fun, and engaging 3D modeling program that blends left-brain analytics with right-brain creativity. Design professionals such as architects and engineers have been using it for years in the workplace. And recently, parents and teachers have discovered how much kids love it, and how much kids learn when they use it.

Google SketchUp is simply the best application out there for teaching 3D design to kids. And teachers who have used our self-learning materials say they serve as great enrichment to their design, math, and tech ed curricula. By working through our projects, students quickly work up from simple to complex designs.
