OnShape with Kevin this Fall

Kevin is doing his onshape workships a little differently this season.  Instead of having live workshops, he has pre-recorded a series to allow people to move at their own pace.

If you have students who would like to learn CAD for FRC, here is a playlist of a series of videos for learning how to use OnShape.

*This is a series of videos. After clicking the link below, you’ll be able to access the list of videos on the YouTube playlist.
