This paper describes the use of a specially developed computer-aided design (CAD) software package as a vehicle for outreach to high school students. The CAD package was conceived and developed for future use in a nationwide engineering design contest, to be administered as part of the West Point bicentennial commemoration in the year 2002. In preparation for that event, the software has been used successfully in two different high school outreach activities. Student feedback from these activities has validated the concept of a CAD-based outreach project and provided useful suggestions for improvement as well.
