SolidWorks Workshop for Beginners!
Hey @channel, quick heads up on an upcoming opportunity! Our next mechanical sub-team meeting is an intro SolidWorks technical workshop at the Galbraith ECF (GB144), on Friday, September 18th from 18:00-20:00. This is designed for people with little to no SolidWorks experience, and you don't need to be in Mech or MechE to come. If you're on Business, Electrical, Aero, or any other subteam and any major, you're welcome. CAD is one of the most transferable skills you can pick up on a design team, and this is the easiest possible entry point for you to learn a new skill for your portfolio, resume, or any personal projects you may want to create! Spots are limited by lab capacity and filling up fast, so please sign up here to reserve a guaranteed seat: https://forms.gle/iAPLw3bPE3ahbGCu7 We will be doing registration at the door, and there may be walk-in available on a FCFS basis if there are no-shows. Workshop starts promptly at 18:15 so please be on time! A few logistics: ECF computers are available to run SolidWorks, so you can just show up If you'd rather bring your own laptop, install Remote ECF beforehand (no VPN needed on UofT wifi), or install SolidWorks directly Already comfortable with SolidWorks? Check out a challenge @Shafwat sent out in the #mechanical channel. Feel free to bring a friend who's been thinking about joining UTWind as the event is open to all UofT students! Questions? Message @Shafwat or @Teagan McKenzie!
