    I recently completed Beginner CAD: Developing Designs. I have a degree in Automation Engineering Technology, so basically I have the formal education to be qualified to repair and maintain robotic and automated systems, but I want to design and build robots. I chose to pursue this workshop in AutoDesk’s Fusion360 because of its universal robustness as a CAD, 3D Sculpting, Modeling, CAM, etc. software package. I signed up for Duro because of the in-class experience with a real classroom and a real instructor. Nothing beats the ability to just have an instructor in the room with you, period. The class is a great value- other classes of this nature can easily cost twice as much, and the benefit that being efficient with a software such as Fusion 360 brings to your resume, and the opportunity to meet other like minded people, will pay for this class over and over again. The office is also convenient to get to. Duro is in Mott Haven right outside of Manhattan, and even with the construction it’s a simple drive, with plenty of on street parking. Definitely WORTH IT.

    Duro’s Developing Designs CAD course is by far one of the best workshops I have been to. As a high school senior, I want to expand my knowledge and to learn as much as possible. That is exactly what this class did. The instructor was engaging, there was a large focus on my needs, and after every class I felt that I was a master of what I learned. The instructor and assistants gave great worksheets and out-of-class projects so I could review what I learned throughout the class. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning CAD.

    Duro has been a great experience. The staff is diverse and very well equipped to educate and mentor, providing gems of knowledge geared towards helping us get ahead as well as expanding our professional network. They engaged and captivated us through relevant hands on experience and skill development. We learned in-depth how to create 3D models using Fusion 360, which exposed someone like myself with little background in engineering to the process of developing hardware from the start to finish. In addition to sharpening our pitching and presentation skills, we learned how to use keywords and tips to best utilize professional tools such as LinkedIn and present ourselves to the best of our ability as young professionals, as well as allowing us access to companies within their network to help us get our foot in the door. All in all I fully enjoyed and truly benefited from the experience and would love to see more programs done by them in the future.

    This class helped to improve my tech skills and learn things I haven’t had a chance to experience before. Some people may be shy to enter programs like this because they either don't have any tech experience or feel like they have to know everything about tech to be in places like this. I think anyone who takes these workshops would be amazed how much they learn in just a short time. One thing I appreciate is that this program gives everyone a chance to experience the future of technology.

    I’m a full-stack web developer and UX/UI designer, and I recently took Duro’s Beginner CAD workshop, Developing Designs. In this workshop I’ve been able to showcase new aspects of my creativity with AutoDesk’s Fusion360 software. Learning the program was fun because I was able to create ideas for physical objects and bring them into reality. It allows everyone to have a chance to come up with the next big thing that could change the world in unexpected ways. I would recommend this workshop to every creative and innovative person who may not have thought about computer aided design, so they can exercise their minds to create- even if it's just an MVP (minimum viable product). I want to thank Duro for exposing me to this path.

    I had more fun than I expected. Everyday we learned something new in 3D modeling where I could create, design and modify whatever I want to make. If I get the chance to do another workshop once I finish my coding studies I definitely will.

    The Duro workshop has been an incredible experience. I learned the beginner tools needed to become a mechanical engineer, where I’ve designed models and 3D printed. I’ve fallen in love with the process of designing things from furniture to buildings. I would recommend Duro to anyone interested in engineering and robotics because they will provide you with an array of skills to use and hands-on experience.
