3D Printing and Design (6th-12th)
This camp allows students to learn Computer Aided Design (CAD) and print their own designed parts. Students will learn to CAD in OnShape, and learn the basics of 2D drawing and hand sketching. They will then learn to measure, create 3D models from engineering drawings and produce assemblies of basic parts. Students will learn how to use the 3D printer slicer and operate our 3D printers (Prusa, Bambu and MarkForge).
Students will learn the basics of Python programming. Students will progress through a self-paced course with assistance from our advanced high school programmers. The course covers basic data types and operators, conditionals, iteration, arrays, and lists. Students will also be introduced to competition coding problems and will work through examples with our experts.
Cooperative Minecraft (4th-12th)
On the surface, Minecraft seems like a simple game. The Minecraft world is large, open-ended and full of hostile creatures. You must mine stone, chop wood, build shelter, grow food, and build weapons to survive. But to move on to large and complex building projects, a community of Minecrafters must work together. As a group, students will design and plan a city. Students will establish rules and conventions, cooperate with each other, manage scarce resources and create divisions of labor. In this camp we will all play vanilla Minecraft on our own server. The world will be fresh, and as a group we will decide what to build. And most importantly - have some summer fun!
LEGO Robotics(4th-8th grade)
Join our high school robotics experts for some summer fun with Lego Robots! We love how veratile these robots are and when you pair them with Lego mechanisms - wow! You will learn the basics of block coding, sensors and basic mechanisms. This is a great class for those with no previous experience, or those looking to improve their skills.
Intro to Java Programming (6th-12th)
