The first thing you are going to want to do is to create a folder in your Google Drive specifically for these projects we are doing.

Click https://edu.sketchup.com/app and log in with your Google account (this is your ncmcs.net email address and password).
Once you are logged in, click on 'curriculum' to the side. Scroll to find 'SketchUp for Schools Introduction' and click on 'Start Modeling.' This will open a modeling window.

Scene Design Assignment
