A year of learning for beginners and experts alike, this year has seen CAD sessions for all abilities! Sophie Davis, the new CAD Society President, tells us more about the society year and exciting plans for the future.
As a relatively new society, CADsoc has continued to grow despite the difficulties of the pandemic, adapting to the digital world alongside other departments and running all our events online.
From lessons on designing with 3D software and generative design to running design competitions, we have supported both our old and new members as they developed their skills in design and computing.
This year, CADsoc went fully online as we ran workshops and competitions via Zoom. Each week we successfully ran beginner and intermediate lessons and drop-in sessions. These were made widely available and have been recorded, they can be viewed by our members at any time. These include:
These lessons can thus be used for future committees to support their own learning, as well as teaching new members. We also launched an exclusive t-shirt design for this year’s members, leaving them with a keepsake from their time in our society.
We plan on carrying on our CAD lessons, alongside new lessons based on design and technology which will hopefully be taught in person. We will be running old and new competitions based upon work covered in the aforementioned lessons. Provided it's safe to do so, CADsoc also plan to organise many society trips and socials!
We look forward to meeting you in the next academic year!
Sophie Davis
President of CAD Society 2021-22
