Overview
The Print-a-Palooza 3D Printing Camp introduces students to the exciting world of digital design and fabrication. Using Tinkercad, students design their own custom object—such as a keychain, name tag, or charm—and then bring it to life with a 3D printer. This camp is designed for all experience levels: beginners can follow guided steps to make simple designs, while more advanced students can experiment with complex shapes and multi-part creations. By the end of the camp, each student will take home a one-of-a-kind item they created themselves.
