No prior experience is required, offering an engaging introduction to turning digital ideas into real-world 3D printed creations.
In this hands-on 3D printing experience, students will engage in project-based learning to explore the fundamentals of digital design and modern manufacturing. Campers will learn how 3D printers operate and utilize beginner-friendly computer-aided design (CAD) tools to design and print their own creations. The program emphasizes the engineering design process, guiding students through planning, creating, testing, and refining their ideas. Through these activities, students will develop problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and technology skills, connecting directly to future technology, engineering, and manufacturing courses and careers.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where students learn about 3D printers, use CAD tools to design projects, and then print their creations, following the engineering design process.
This camp is ideal for middle school students (grades 5-7) with no prior experience in 3D printing or digital design, who are eager to explore engineering and technology through creative, project-based learning.
