Introduction to 3D Printing and 3D Modeling

Welcome to the exciting world of 3D Printing!
This course for elementary and middle school students is a hands-on learning experience designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and technological prowess in students. In this class, students will embark on a journey through the realm of digital fabrication, where students will learn to transform imaginative ideas into tangible, three-dimentional objects. This class is a blend of art and science, providing students with the unique opportunity to explore the limitless possibilities of 3D printing technology. The fundamentals of 3D design will be introduced, and students will be guided to bring their creations to life. From designing custom keychains, famous building replicas, or crafting small toys, the only limit is the imagination. Students will gain hands-experience understanding the basic 3D Modeling software, TinkerCAD, learn how prepare files for printing, as well as how to operate 3D printers safely. Throughout the camp, students will see how 3D printing can revolutionize industries such as engineering, healthcare, and even space exploration, fostering an appreaciation for the technology's real-world applications. Nurturing the love for learning and exploration at an early age is key for preparing students for the future. By the end of this class, students will not only have a solid foundation in 3D Printing, but will also have developed skills that can be applied to numerous aspects of their education and future endevours. Join us on discovering the art of 3D printing, where creativity knows no bounds, and innovation is at your fingertips. Get ready to shape the future one layer at a time!
