CAD in a Web Browser, with Amanda Hough The K12 Engineering Education Podcast

The pandemic has spurred teachers like Amanda Hough to teach CAD remotely, but
how do you do that if students don't have the hardware to run resource-heavy CAD
software? Amanda uses cloud-based CAD platform OnShape, and her students run it
in a web browser, no installs needed. She talks about her experience switching
over to OnShape this year, its place in education even when the pandemic is
over, and how she got into STEM education in the first place as a career-changed
from marine biology. Related to this episode: • Amanda Hough's email:
