Targeting K-12 schools, Project Ignite encompasses the end-to-end design experience, from idea to digital modeling to physical fabrication. It brings together free* and custom design software, step-by-step projects and for-purchase hardware options. Autodesk's Project Ignite, Tinkercad and 123D Circuits web sites are COPPA safe-harbor certified by CARU Kid's Privacy Safe Harbor Program. "The ability to take risks, learn from failure and solve problems is critical to prepare students for the challenges ahead", said Samir Hanna, vice president and general manager, Autodesk Consumer and 3D printing. "When learning includes making, designing and creativity, students have the freedom to explore different ways of engaging with content and each other. Project Ignite provides the collaborative and hands-on environment needed to energize educators, increase student engagement and inspire design thinking in a simple and fun way."
