Most fun "freeware" ever?

I hesitate to call this freeware - the free version is fully functional but there is a paid version which has more features - but the basic free version is really all you need to get into CAD quickly and painlessly.

If you haven't tried Google Sketchup you really must! The tutorials are among some of the best you'll find - you could easily just sit down and let them run your lessons for you (not that we endorse that approach here, you understand) - and the results are stunning.

Design and technology are the obvious users of this program but it's so simple that you could use it to create drama sets, places of worship, trenches, space stations - well, anything really.

This software counts among the best - and most impressive - we've seen. If you already teach CAD (computer aided design) please try this - it's perfect to get pupils into the area.

Download it here NOW NOW NOW!!!
Here are some examples, starting with something simple:
