3D Printing and Minecraft are 2 of the most exciting things around. This class is for students who have no or limited experience with 3D Printing and is ideal for students who like to draw, design and see their creations come to life. Students will be learning the ropes of 3D modeling and printing. They will use TinkerCAD to design basic Minecraft creations from scratch using the Engineering Design Process, and choose 2 to print in class to take home. To allow everyone to print their creations, items may have to be scaled down to allow printing during class times. Students must be comfortable with using a laptop and mouse to design their creations.

This camp is a hands-on product design class emphasizing creative thinking and problem-solving. Students will explore options to find, modify, and prepare 3D files to be brought to life using a 3D printer. By the end of this course, students will become familiar with the workflow and terminology of digital fabrication. We begin learning by designing and printing functional fishing lures, then continue solving design challenges. Printing and material fees are included.

Twos develop at high speed and thrive with guidance and limits as they set out to try everything in sight.
