SketchUp for K-12 Education

K-12 educators and students from all over the world use SketchUp to explore, explain and present their ideas using 3D models.

Choose between two versions of SketchUp

SketchUp users in K12 Education can choose between Google SketchUp (the free version) or SketchUp Pro (which is free for educators and extremely affordable for students and schools). We recommend that most folks in K-12 education try out Google SketchUp (free) – there's no licensing to worry about, and students can download and install it on their computers at home.
