Announcement
May 16, 2014
Last week, Autodesk announced in a press release that Autodesk software will now be free of charge to educational institutions. This is great news to our educators as budget will no longer limit their ability to offer industry-leading software to students. With the ability to learn on software that is standard in the real-world, students will build employable skillsets whether they are at a small or large district or university. It is truely a win-win for the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curricula that has become a focus for the US schools because of the lack of graduates in these areas.
Read the full press release from Autodesk.
Download Free software
To download free software, students, educators, and school district information technology administrators can go to the Autodesk Academic Resource Centre. You can create a free user name to download either standalone versions for home machines or network versions for the classroom.
Register for free software.
Also be sure to check out the Autodesk Student Community, a site that provides educators with pick and click tutorials and offers currciula for specific industry topics like Sustainability, Building Information Modeling, and Digital Prototyping. You can use all the modules available or only pick certain projects. Check out the Autodesk Workshops here.
Affordable Support from Synergis
The free software comes with Autodesk online installation support through a web link only. We know that this is not always the most effective way for educators to get the support and service that they need. At Synergis, we have been education-specialized for over two decades. Assisting IT staff, keeping educators up to speed, and supporting k-20 students continues to be the focus of our education team at Synergis. We understand how to work around school firewalls, how to support the software users, and how teachers learn information to be able to teach it in their classroom. We have also rolled out affordable institution pricing for Helpdesk or Installation Support to work with the budgets you had already set aside for software. We also provide in-depth training in our state-of-the-art training rooms and aim to help you and your classrooms stay ahead so that your students will be ahead of their peers after they graduate.
