BECOME A DYNAMO HERO

DIY Dynamo Day is a single day "deep dive" training course on Dynamo for Autodesk Revit. The class will be broken into four distinct modules. We will use real-world examples to build a foundation of knowledge giving you the ability to create your own scripts in Dynamo. Each module builds on the previous to demonstrate the connection between the simple and complex scripts. 

By the end of the day you will have the skills and confidence to develop your own scripts from scratch. You'll go back to your cubicle and become an instant hero as you use Dynamo to automate repetitive tasks, overcome Revit limitations, and solve complex problems. 

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

JEFFREY A. PINHEIRO, AIA

Co-Founder & CEO TheRevitKid.com

Hey there! My name is Jeff. You may know me better as "The Revit Kid". I am a licensed architect with over 14 years in the industry. I have worked at large and small firms, construction firms, and on my own.

I have spent the last 10 years teaching people Autdesk Revit online. But, there isn't anything quite like teaching in-person. 

Some of my teaching experience includes:  

  • 5 Years as Adjunct Professor at the University of Hartford 
  • 7 Years in a row leading a session at BILT NA (RTCNA)
  • Highly rated speaking roles at: Building Content Summit, CMAA, ABX Boston, Greenbuild, and the Construction Institute (BIM Council). 


SCHEDULE

DIY Dynamo Day isn't your ordinary AEC software training session. I've developed a lesson plan that skips the "fluff" and teaches you what you need to know . You're a Revit user. Teaching you where the "File" and "Edit" buttons are located is a waste of time. My philosphy on teaching is that if I draw the dots you have the ability to connect them. 

By the end of a single day you will be able to create your own complex scripts and solve any problem using Dynamo. Additionally, you will have a conceptual knowledge of Dynamo that will help in understanding scripts made by others (which is an extremely important skill in and of itself!).

Morning Session:

8am-9am: Check-In / Introduction

9am-1030am: Module 01 - Rotate Instance

1030am-12pm: Module 02 - Parameter Power!

WHO IS DIY DYNAMO DAY FOR?

Architects, Engineers, Contractors, BIM Managers, and beyond... I have experience and examples of how Dynamo can be used in all corners of the AEC industry.

DIY Dynamo Day is for you if you are using Autodesk Revit on a regular basis and ask yourself any of the following questions:

  • There has to be a faster way to do this, right?
  • Do I really have to re-number every door again?
  • I keep hearing about Dynamo but where do I begin learning it?
  • I want to learn Dynamo but do I have the time to learn it?
  • Why doesn't Revit just do this?
