Want to learn CAD, 3D printing, and engineering?
A few of us high-school students have been building SparqCAD, a free STEM learning platform designed to help students and aspiring engineers learn the actual CAD and engineering skills that can be used in industry-level projects.
You can learn things like:
- CAD & 3D design
- 3D printing
- Engineering & design
- Hands-on prototyping
- Engineering fundamentals
We're still actively developing the platform, and we'd love for other students, makers, engineers, and STEM enthusiasts to join, explore the courses, and give us feedback.
Right now, we have two introductory CAD courses covering Tinkercad and Onshape, two beginner-friendly tools for computer-aided design. We’re hoping to expand into more CAD software, 3D printing, engineering, and hands-on projects as the platform grows. We’d especially love to hear about what skills and topics you think we should add next.
I decided to share SparqCAD here on the E-NABLE forum because I thought the best way to grow the platform is to involve like-minded people who can explore what we’re building and share their ideas.
Even if you don't have time to take a course right now, we'd really appreciate it if you could make an account and take a quick look around SparqCAD. We're just getting started, and we'd love feedback from people actually involved in hands-on STEM, engineering, CAD, and making.
Even just exploring the platform, pointing out things that could be improved, or telling us what you'd want to see in future courses would mean a lot to us.
And hey, if you happen to help two high schoolers build something useful for the STEM community along the way... that's a pretty nice bonus for the college apps :D

If you take a look, let us know what you think, what works, what doesn't, what you'd like to learn, and what you think we should build next!
