This 3D printing camp takes students through the 3D printing process from start to finish. Students will design 3D objects using TinkerCAD and the 3D slicing program Cura to bring their creations to life. From industrial design and manufacturing to software and hardware engineering, the 3D printing industry is booming. This course is an excellent introduction to 3D printing and is ideal for students who like to draw, design, imagine, and see their creations come to life. Printing and material fees are included. Students will get to bring home two of their 3D creations.

Create YOUR OWN VIDEO GAME! Love video games? Young students can create platform video games in this incredible class! Choose your storyline with your favorite superheroes as your stars. Add challenges and difficulty levels. Then, share them by email or post them on the web to challenge family and friends. Now, young students can practice math, logic, and programming and put their video game talents to work! Bring a USB drive to save your games on the last day.

In this class, we introduce students to programming concepts using Scratch. Learn to create an interactive 2D video game using your favorite Pokémon characters. Scratch is a drag-and-drop creative coding platform developed by MIT. Students will be walked through step-by-step tutorials to create 2-4 working games and animations using popular Star Wars sprites. Basic computer skills are needed (this includes good keyboard and mouse skills). With time remaining, students will be challenged to modify or improve the games created in class. Bring a USB drive to save your games on the last day.
