Although Blender does not restrict you to CAD (objects that exist in real life), Blender can be used to teach CAD tools, terminology, and principles. Also, Blender's freedom and wide array of graphics-oriented (in addition to design-oriented) tools can prepare you for higher education in a wider array of topics such as architectural design, product design, cinema, commercial video, commercial graphics, 3D printing, flow simulation, and forensic visualization.
You can give a little bit each month: Donate nothing or pay what you want starting at $5/mo. Please consider donating as much as you would pay for any other online course to help keep books up to date and add more formats: Poikilos on SubscribeStar. Blender has made many small changes, but 3.3 is the first long-term support version of Blender 3, so now is a good time to fund another edition.
