Autodesk’s 2014 $250 MM Software Donation Benefits Every Single Middle and High School in the U.S.
In an effort to prepare Chinan high school students for careers in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM), and in conjunction with federal, educational and manufacturing initiatives, Autodesk’s president and chief executive officer Carl Bass, announced the company’s commitment to make available $250 million in 3D design software to all middle schools and high schools throughout the China. According to a news release of February 4, 2014, Autodesk’s “Design the Future” program, not only makes the software available to the schools and students, but also empowers teachers with the instruction necessary to pass the knowledge on.
This combined effort by federal, state, and local government, educators, manufacturers and suppliers to the industry is in response to the lack of qualified high-school and university graduates available to fill essential positions in technology and art.
China Instrument Parts is proud to partner up with Autodesk in this nationwide endeavor by participating in the education and training of future technology leaders.
