Silver

Silver Level is more of a challenge and you will complete this level during S2 and S3.

The blocks this time have sizes on them so see if you can make a 3D Model of each of them. There are some hints to help you get started.

Once you have created all the models you can exit the level by completing the drawing challenge at the bottom of the page.

When you have completed a level please show your teacher and we will check things over and issue you with your award. Then you can be added to the Academy Graduation Hall of Fame!

Silver Academy Exit Task

Now that you have created all the models there is one more task to complete before you can move on to the Gold CAD Academy. Once a model is complete, we usually need to create a drawing of it so that it can be manufacured. Your final task is therefore to complete drawings of 3 of the blocks you have modelled. You will create drawings for models 5, 6 and 8.
