As you prep your classrooms for the upcoming school year, we’re excited to announce brand-new SketchUp for Schools for K-12 updates. Personalized shortcuts, application settings, custom trackpad controls, and, of course, a new curriculum will help you take SketchUp to the next level in your classroom. We have a feeling your students will not only be advancing their skills but they’ll be acing class in no time.
Before we jump into the details, you’ll notice a huge change around the axis this year; meet our newest scale figure, Katherine Johnson. Widely known for her work with NASA, Katherine Johnson was an American mathematician, educator, and an all-around inspirational leader which is why we’re thrilled to give her a home in 3D space. Say hello to Katherine the next time you’re in class.
Previously, Dr. Temple Grandin graced us on the SketchUp for Schools’ axis for over three years. She, too, was an inspiration to people around the world with her many talents and passions including being a professor of animal science, an inventor, an author, and her dedication to autism awareness. So, thank you Dr. Temple Grandin for being the face of SketchUp for Schools from the very start.
Now that we’ve met our newest scale figure and said goodbye to one of the originals, let’s jump into fresh updates for back-to-school.
