Jared and Andrew began the class by teaching the students about sketch-up and Google earth. In sketch-up, they learned how to make a fancy chair and design the legs of the chair. Then the class looked at a 3D warehouse. The 3D warehouse was a device that allowed the students to take other people's projects made in sketch-up and use part of that project. The students then got to make a house with some furniture and stairs.

The other half of the day was spent using Google earth. Jared and Andrew showed the students how to insert the houses made earlier in Google earth. In Google earth, the students could use the flight simulator and take off in an adventure. There were some codes introduced to handle the plane and make sure it flies steady. The students then got the opportunity to choose between starting their flight in the air or taking off from a runway.
