Are there any projects for teachers to give to students like at Cuda Country Tutorials?

Do you know of any projects for teachers to give to high school students like at Cuda Country SWX Tutorials.http://www.cudacountry.net/html/solidworks_toc.htmlThey have tons of step-by-step tutorials for learning SWX by doing projects students are interested in, including assemblies, exploded assemblies. motion studies, wind tunnel simulations, other simulations, renderings, CAD/CAM, etc. Thanks,

Not a resource I'm familiar with so I can't answer your question... But I will go and check it out!
If it doesn't exist perhaps we need to make it!

Hmm...Solidworks sure is more faffy than I remember...or maybe that's just the tutorials...though I may be missing some of the finer points of the tutorial.  Thinking about it might be as quick to just sketch 1/4, mirror sketch, extrude and mirror geometry.  All the slats could be done in one/ two sketches.
Had a go at the bridge, It's a different workflow in onshape I think.
Anyway, it's here for anyone to have a look at/ improve.  I guess the next step would be exporting to simscale to do the analysis in the tutorial.

@Ste_Wilson

you will need to make the document public so we may copy it - I am not familiar with how Enterprise handles that.

Transfered ownership to my cad.onshape and updated the link above.  Hopefully that makes it copyable!  From tutorail http://www.cudacountry.net/html/sw_bridge.html

Love the 1998 style webpage by the way... 
Got to keep netscape navigator compatibility you know

Ste_Wilson

It is now public!

@bruce_williams was it usfull in anyway?

@Ste_Wilson
the model was available now and it was helpful to see how difficult the tutorial in 'Cuda Country' for Solidworks is. All the screenshots of where to save files, etc. is painful.  I am in manufacturing and just find the Onshape Learning Center the way to go.

Hi, a great resource for basic onshape projects is cadvideotutor.com All of the projects have full instructions, dimensioned drawings and step by step video with assembly and animation instructions and free and no ads on the video.  Students can do them independently and get up to speed on using onshape very quickly.  Check it out at
