Free Computational Design
Course for Universities
No software installs. No license fees. Just open a browser and design.
Design isn’t just drawn anymore. It’s computed.
The tools changed. The work changed. Now the classroom has to.
Complexity
A contemporary project balances thousands of parameters: structure, daylight, airflow, fabrication. Relationships like that can’t be sketched; they have to be computed.
Speed
Computational workflows turn weeks of manual iteration into hours. A student can test a hundred design variations before their next crit.
Scale
The same parametric logic designs a steel joint or a city block. Scale becomes a variable, not a barrier.
Yet most design schools still teach drafting first.
Let’s bridge the gap.
From outdated curriculum to industry-ready skills.
No structured curriculum
Academically Structured
Inconsistent delivery
Teachable by non‑specialists
Not enough specialists
Backed by strong materials
Weak fabrication link
Fabrication-oriented outputs
High internal build cost
Ready out-of-the-box
Meet Beegraphy
The computational design classroom, reimagined.
Visual, not code.
Free for every student.
Production-ready scripts.
Built for the classroom. Curriculum, workshops, and community, purpose-built for teaching computational design.
The course in three minutes.
What Computational Design 101 is, how it runs inside a semester, and what students walk out with.
We built Beegraphy to make computational design accessible.
Then educators found us.
Laurent Lescop
ENSA Nantes · France
“He stopped losing half his workshop to IT.”
- Every workshop used to start the same way: students stuck on installation, versions clashing, time wasted before a single concept was taught.
- With Beegraphy running in the browser, that problem vanished.
- Laurent now spends the full session teaching computational design, not troubleshooting setup.
- He’s made it his go-to platform for every workshop he runs.
Florina Pantilimonescu
TUIASI · Iași, Romania
“She stopped sending files. She started sharing work.”
- Her old workflow meant emailing static files, waiting for feedback, and losing track of versions.
- BeeGraphy replaced all of that with a single shared link.
- Her designs update in real-time, student submissions come in live, and the course runs as a genuinely collaborative space.
- She built it into her course framework as the core tool, not an afterthought.
Jiyun Ko
GoMath Academy · South Korea
“She needed her high school students to see math, not just solve it.”
- Jiyun wasn’t looking for a design tool; she needed a way to make abstract mathematical concepts visible in 3D for high school students.
- BeeGraphy was beginner-friendly enough that her students were working from the first session, with no onboarding friction.
- She uses it to bring geometry and mathematical logic to life in a way that a textbook simply can’t.
We turned three years of educator feedback into a 16-week program.

The Awards
An annual showcase celebrating the boldest student and professional computational design work from around the world.
Educator Awards: $3,600 and three trophies for the faculty behind the entries. Your score is entries multiplied by their average jury score, so a smaller class doing better work still wins. Students add you as a mentor to make you eligible.
