Today’s challenges are more complex than any we have faced before, and they are testing our creativity, ingenuity and resilience. Autodesk is working with students and academic leaders to ensure that the next generation of engineers, architects and digital artists can tackle the complex and technical challenges of the 21st century.
Our goal is to help improve STEM education to prepare students for successful careers.
