Maker Camp

In this camp, campers will get to create 3D computer aided designs of common objects and pieces from their imagination. The 3D designs created on the computer will then be printed on the 3D printer! From your head to a physical object in a short amount of time! Participants will work collaboratively to create and improve their designs by giving each other feedback on their work. They will learn the design process and will be able to interactively make changes and retest their designs. Campers will be provided computers and other hardware to use at camp. Campers of all levels will be challenged to create something appropriate for their age and ability level. Possible projects include creating containers, cars, board game pieces, artistic pieces, action figures and many more. Campers will be given flexibility in choosing the objects they will create. If final projects are not printed by the end of the week, they will be mailed home promptly upon their completion. After lunch each day, the campers will participate in different non-computer related activities.
