The goal of this component is to teach children the basics of computer assisted design CAD with an easy-to-use blocks-based programming interface. RICM also signed a partnership agreement for Maker Faire. Developed online classes using Outschool as an Internet lifeline for more people than ever. Many older adults who do not have strong technology skills will need assistance to perform necessary activities online. Our goal is to assist older adults who need help with technology.
