    DD8 is an amazing artist and has been helping my robotics team this year with designing. I am amazed at how well she can free-hand draw her ideas and would like to get her started on CAD I've seen a CAD for kids and was wondering if others have tried it and what you think. In particular, is it "too watered down" for a kid who can visualize things in 3-d, unroll them to 2-d to draw them onto a paper which she then cuts out and "rolls" back into 3-d.

    Hi Kerry! Yes, I too would like opinions on CAD and any other computer animation, design programs appropriate for a very visual ten year old...He has pretty much mastered SCRATCH, which he loves...Now looking for something more ...Anyone heard of Blender??? It looks amazing but wondering if it would be too advanced...Google SketchUp is always fun and it's free smile
