Description: Teachers and parents need creative ways to engage their students in fun, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities and learning. SOLIDWORKS® Apps for Kids introduces children from ages 4 to 14 to the excitement of imagining and designing their own creations.

SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids is a free of charge resource that inspires young thinkers and gives them the tools to turn their wildest creations into reality. A web-based collection of apps, available for tablets and other mobile devices, such as Shape It, Style It, Mech It, Capture It, Show it and Print It, allows children to get inspired about design in a fun, exciting way and then share their ideas with others.
