**"Project Ignite has been a fantastic enhancement to our classrooms, and I am thrilled with how it boosts my students' enthusiasm, engagement, and overall interest in design and 3D printing technology."**
**SAN FRANCISCO – (BUSINESS WIRE)** – In response to the President's call for action to foster a Nation of Makers, and as part of a White House event celebrating the National Week of Making, **Autodesk, Inc.** (NASDAQ: ADSK) is launching **Autodesk Project Ignite**, a free* and open learning platform designed to build the skills and confidence of young learners through creative, hands-on design experiences centered around cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing and electronics.
Targeting K-12 schools, Project Ignite covers the entire design process, from initial concepts to digital modeling and physical creation. It combines free* design software, customizable lesson plans, and purchasable hardware options. The websites for Autodesk’s Project Ignite, Tinkercad, and 123D Circuits are all COPPA-safe under CARU’s Kids Privacy Safe Harbor Program.
With Autodesk’s longstanding dedication to education, the company knows firsthand how young minds can transform the world when equipped with the right tools and inspiration. Project Ignite enriches Autodesk’s extensive suite of free* educational offerings by delivering a unique blend of technology, learning resources, and services tailored to bring the Maker Movement into schools.
"The capacity to take risks, learn from failures, and solve problems is vital for preparing students for future challenges," said Samir Hanna, vice president and general manager of Autodesk’s Consumer and 3D Printing division. "When learning involves making, designing, and fostering creativity, students gain the freedom to explore diverse ways of interacting with both content and one another. Project Ignite creates the collaborative, hands-on environment educators need to excite students, boost engagement, and inspire design thinking in a simple yet enjoyable manner."
Backed by partners such as **Microsoft**, **MakerBot**, and **Electroninks Writeables**, Project Ignite also offers classroom bundles that include hardware like 3D printers and electronic kits, alongside professional development and training services to help teachers implement the program smoothly.
"Project Ignite has become an incredible asset in our classroom, sparking excitement and engagement among my students toward design and 3D printing," shared Kim Coyle, an educator at the Middle School of Plainville in Plainville, CT. "Our aim is to inspire the next generation of innovators, so we’re expanding Project Ignite into other grade levels and considering building a makerspace next year to nurture students' curiosity and creativity."
Autodesk seeks to bring innovative technology to widely used platforms, aiming to deliver a superior user experience. Similar to **Spark**, Autodesk’s open 3D printing platform, Project Ignite extends this philosophy to education by empowering the next wave of innovators. The platform will initially be available in English for educators and students in the U.S. and globally.
**For Educators**: Project Ignite integrates free* Autodesk design software, such as **Tinkercad** and **123D Circuits**, offering step-by-step tutorials within these apps to encourage design thinking and hands-on problem-solving skills. It also provides purchasable hardware options, including 3D printers from **MakerBot** and Circuit Scribe pens and modules from **Electroninks Writeables**. Teachers can log in for free* to access Project Ignite content even if they don’t wish to buy hardware.
**For Schools**: Administrators can select from various package solutions combining free* software, purchasable hardware, teacher training, and support—all accessible from a single source—to introduce the Maker Movement into classrooms.
**For Educational Partners**: Open to educators, publishers, edtech firms, and hardware providers, Project Ignite presents unique opportunities to drive the next education revolution, inspiring students to deepen their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education while giving educators early access to emerging tech trends.
**For Families/Parents**: Project Ignite serves as an excellent tool for learning tech basics together in a supervised environment, extending to fun weekend projects that engage the whole family.
