SUNY Delhi Accepted Student Day

Today I went to an orientation like event at the college I am attending (SUNY Delhi). One of the things I did on my visit was talking to the professors. When picking out classes I mentioned that I am already using some of the programs that they use in college, and then of course, I brought up my WISE project! I explained to him how I plan to use AutoCAD, and then use the laser cutter to make my pieces. He said that his students are doing a similar project right now. They are working on a hotel/retail complex that they are now drawing up in AutoCAD and cutting out. I forgot how it got to this point but he mentioned that now I am accepted to SUNY Delhi, I can get a FREE version of AutoCAD!!! The Autodesk package (all of their programs) is about $4,500. When I heard that I could get a free version now that I am going to Delhi, I got REALLY excited. When I get home, I plan to download it, and now I will be able to work on my project at home, instead of using the computers in the Technology Department at the High School. This will definitely help my project speed up!
