About Kids Can CAD

OUR STORY

Kids Can CAD Academy was born in 2017 in a community just north of Austin, TX. Our Founder, Jenny Lineberger – a civil engineer/adjunct professor, and mother of three – was looking to enroll her kids in a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) summer camp program. After checking with all the nearby school districts, she wasn’t able to find any summer camps for school-age kids, that offered computer drafting, 3d modeling, or 3d printing. She saw how much fun her kids had at home designing in 3d, so she decided to start a CAD academy for kids in their school district.

We are now a passionate team of engineers and educators who believe that awesome technology education should be available to kids in all school districts. ​
OUR MISSION
Help children develop the skills they need to become problem solvers.

Teach children 21st-century skills to prepare them to meet workforce demands.

OUR VISION
Our goal is to bring our program to students everywhere, no matter their race, gender, or economic status.

​

We work with The STEM Success Foundation, a non-profit organization, to offer scholarships, free workshops, and donate 3d printers to local public libraries.
