InterCAD Customer Appreciation Evening in Adelaide

Every now and again, we at InterCAD strive to provide a unique customer experience for our SolidWorks users. Thanks largely to the folks at Immanuel College in Adelaide, this time around, South Australian SolidWorks users got a first hand chance to see how Immanuel College introduces SolidWorks to engineers and designers of the future. Students at Immanuel College first get introduced to SolidWorks in year 7 and it forms an integral part of their curriculum right until they graduate in year 12.
The event was held at the brand new, Margaret Ames Centre at Immanuel College from 4 to 6.30 pm on the 26th of March 2015.

As always the event kicked off with some refreshments in the form of pizza and beer as all attendees got a chance to mingle and network.

The event officially started with Mr Peter Maple, the Technology Coordinator at Immanuel College and our host for the evening welcoming the SolidWorks users to the school.

After the 20 minute tour attendees got a chance to grab more food and drinks as the principal of Immanuel College, Mr Kevin Richardson said a few words. We then headed into the lecture theatre for some SolidWorks presentations.

We then had a special presentation by one of our fellow SolidWorks users Mr Jara Prouza from the Prouza Design Workshop. Jara shared some tips and tricks regarding surface modeling in SolidWorks which was very well received by the audience.
