About This Activity
Design it. Engineer it. Print it. In this hands-on week, campers become 3D designers and build their very own articulated animal — a creature with real moving joints that prints in one piece, no glue required. Using beginner-friendly Tinkercad software, kids master 3D modeling, engineer working ball-and-socket joints, and test their designs against real physics in a Simulation Lab drag race. No experience needed — every camper goes home with a certificate and a custom 3D-printed creation they designed themselves. Where science and technology connect! Small Group Ratios: Due to the specialized nature of 3D printing equipment, we keep class sizes small to ensure every child gets ample "printer time." Flexible Scheduling: Programs typically run Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, with Pre-Camp (8:00 AM) and Post-Camp (5:30 PM) options available for working schedules.
