About this Course...
GeoCADD is a combination of Geometry and CADD (Computer Aided Drafting and Design.) Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, and two and three dimensional figures.
GeoCADD brings the synergy of these two subjects into the Project Based Learning (PBL) experience. Projects in this course utilize Geometric concepts for computer aided design.
In a traditional high school, Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, two and three dimensional figures. At New Tech, Geometry is also the mathematical understanding of art and design in the professional world.
Professionals who use CADD are Architects, Engineers, Drafters, and Designers.
