It’s April Vacation! Join us for our 3 day STEM camp as we work with 3D printers and Bambu Studio. Learn the basics of 3D printing while recreating a useful item commonly used in spring—rainboots. We will develop the fundamental skills needed to recreate a pre-existing object in a 3D computer setting and learn how to transfer that 3D computer object into a 3D physical object.
Space is limited, registration and a $15 deposit is required. This event is intended for ages 10 and up.
