Transforming Education: Polytech and Nanosoft Launch Program for Digital Drawing Teachers

On March 27, the joint educational program «Digital Drawing Teacher» was launched by Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University in collaboration with the company «Nanosoft.» This initiative aims to retrain educators, equipping them with up-to-date knowledge and essential skills for effective teaching of drafting in schools.

Over the course of three months, instructors will delve into topics such as drawing standards, dimensioning, surface modeling on drawings, and projection drawing using modern digital design tools.

The pilot phase of this educational initiative is expected to enhance the qualifications of around 100 teachers across Russia.

Upon completion of the program, participants will receive a diploma from SPbPU certifying their professional retraining, as well as a certificate from the Russian engineering platform nanoCAD.

Svetlana Valeryevna Vavilova, a teacher of fine arts and drafting at GBOU Secondary School No. 252, remarked: «Becoming a digital drawing teacher is a leap into the future that we are taking together with the Center for Additional Professional Programs at Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University. I’m thrilled to have chosen the ‘Digital Drawing Teacher’ course. The first lecture and video lessons left a strong impression on me. Despite the complexity of the material, the time commitment required for mastering it, and some initial anxiety due to my self-doubt, I believe I can grasp the basics of digital drawing within this supportive community of course educators. Thank you for the new horizons this education has opened up for me!»

The «Digital Drawing Teacher» program caters to educators involved in technical and artistic education, along with professionals eager to integrate modern digital technologies into the teaching and design process. In light of the rapid technological advancements and the shift to remote learning, this program offers an invaluable opportunity to adapt teaching skills and methodologies to contemporary demands.

The program is delivered online, allowing participants to engage with the material at their own pace.
