We train young people and adults in mechanical drafting, piping, and AutoCAD Plant 3D. The workshops are voluntary. There is no tuition, no diploma, and no job guarantee. There is a seat, a drawing, and a volunteer who has done this work for more than 16 years.
Piping and mechanical drawings decide how a plant is built. Most people meet that work only after they already have a job, a paid course, or a school lab. The vision is a community room where a young person or an adult can start anyway.
Mechanical drafting. Piping and P&IDs. AutoCAD Plant 3D. Free, voluntary workshops, taught by a volunteer instructor. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian’s written permission. The foundation is not a school and does not award a diploma, a certification, or a job.
A gift does not buy a certificate. It buys the hours: a machine to draw on, software to practice in, and a room where the teaching stays free.
Lines, views, scales, and standards. The first win is a drawing a stranger can read.
The parts of a line, and the diagram that tells a builder what that line is for.
From a blank project to a small piping model and the drawings that explain it.
There is no set number of computers and no minimum gift. One used laptop, a monitor, a software seat, or a cash gift of any amount does the same thing: it lets the next person sit down and learn. Tax deductibility starts only after the IRS determination letter.
Lagoinha Church opened its classroom so these workshops have a home. The foundation teaches. Lagoinha Church hosts the room. That gift of space is what lets young people and adults sit down and learn.
Without a place to gather, the software and the teaching have nowhere to land. Lagoinha Church’s welcome makes the program possible. The foundation remains its own organization, separate from Samtech3D LLC and from the church.
