Google SketchUp

SketchUp is a program used for a wide range of 3D modeling projects like architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, and video game design, to name a few of its uses. The program includes drawing layout functionality, surface rendering, and supports third-party plugins from the Extension Warehouse.

SketchUp contains all the tools children need to draw in 3D, analyze and improve their building’s performance, and creatively document and share their ideas with class.

Module duration - 1,5 months

In KIBERone CyberSchool, the visual programming training for children includes the study of the Google SketchUp platform, which is popular among architects and designers. The main feature of this universal tool is its simplicity, intuitive and concise interface, and huge opportunities for three-dimensional creativity. Our author's course is specially adapted for children's perception and is suitable for children aged 9 years old and older. Our teachers will teach children the principles of the program, the commands and tools, the technique of creating three-dimensional objects and various scenes.

Features of the Google SketchUp module in our CyberSchool for children

Leading developers of major IT companies and design studios will teach children 3D modeling in the CyberSchool. The program includes an introduction to the basics of three-dimensional graphics. During the course, children will learn how to design furniture, toys, models of cars and airplanes, interior projects, as well as the design of buildings, various construction structures and their elements. Programming training takes place in a comfortable environment for children: classes are equipped with advanced technologies, the educational process consists of only 20% of theory, and 80% is devoted to practice.

This is the perfect solution to teach a child programming in an amazing and exciting 3D environment, to help them realize their creative ambitions and reach their potential. Program develops creativity and imagination, aesthetic taste, a sense of style and composition, spatial and logical thinking, as well as perseverance and determination.

By the end of the module, your child will be able to navigate the virtual three-dimensional space and to create architectural models on their own. In the classroom, children will:

come up with ideas for implementation in this fascinating genre;
understand existing commands and work tools;
build logic inside the model to program efficiently and with pleasure;
use the graphic styles built into the editor and use hot keys;
model layouts;
create and edit 3D objects;
add texture to various materials and light up scenes;
learn how SketchUp interacts with other editors.

SketchUp will open up amazing opportunities for your child to improve their skills, because they will find original features and combinations again and again.
