ACE 2 (Arichitect. Construction. Engineering)

Since TD classes are not offered this year at MCSM. we have the TD club instead. We named it ACE 2 because, members are encourage to sign up for the official mentoring club outside MCSM at http://www.acementor.org

ACE members may use the club as a place where they learn some TD skills at ACE 2 to help them succeed at the ACE program.

have fun! (there are 2 teams: traditional Drafting team and Digital Google sketch up team)
