CAD Creators: 3D Printing & Design & Mechanical Engineering - 4C+D (Gr. 3~6)

Campers will imagine, design, and print their very own 3-D materials in this fun and engaging camp. First, they will examine the world around them and begin thinking of practical and unique uses for 3-D printing technology. With their ideas in mind, they'll then learn the basics of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to model their creations. Finally, they'll use 3-D printers to actually produce real-world prototypes of their designs. Campers will also design and build moving, articulated creations, learning how gears, joints, and mechanics work as well. This popular camp embodies the entire engineering lifecycle - from idea development to finished product. And best of all, campers will enjoy sharing their creations with family and friends! (Note: $110 materials fees)
