3d Design and Product Engineering

Description

Give your child the opportunity to unlock their creativity and explore the world of 3D design and fabrication in our engaging, hands-on day camp. Using beginner-friendly tools such as TinkerCAD, campers learn how to create digital 3D models and transform them into real, tangible objects through the exciting process of 3D printing.

Throughout the week, campers will dive into product design fundamentals—problem-solving, logical thinking, iteration, and visual planning—while working through fun and age-appropriate engineering challenges. They’ll discover how imagination and technology come together as they bring their own unique ideas to life.

Our camp environment is collaborative, supportive, and designed to help every participant feel confident exploring STEAM concepts. Whether they are brand-new to 3D design or already budding tech innovators, campers will experiment, build, and innovate alongside peers in a safe and inspiring space.

By the end of the program, each child will walk away with new skills, completed 3D-printed creations, and a deeper understanding of modern design and engineering—along with the creativity, confidence, and friendships that make their summer unforgettable.

This camp is for ages 9 to 13
