Camp Detail: 3DP - 3D Creators

3D Printing

Have you ever wanted to design something on a computer and turn it into a real object? Join us for a fun, hands-on summer camp where campers ages 14-18 will learn how to bring their ideas to life using 3D modeling, 3D printing, and other cool technologies!

Each day, campers will get to design, build, and create! In the first part of the day, they will learn how to use computer design software (CAD) to create their own 3D models. In the second part, they will explore 3D printing through fun activities, hands-on projects, and creative challenges.

Campers will:

  • Design in 3D: Use Onshape to create your own 3D models.
  • Bring your designs to life: Learn how 3D printers work and print your own creations.
  • Draw in 3D: Use 3D pens to create objects you can hold!
  • Explore 3D scanning: Discover how scanners turn real objects into digital models.
  • See your designs in 3D: Explore how to view and work with 3D objects on a screen.
  • Take on fun challenges: Design, test, and improve your creations while solving real-world problems.

Best of all, each student will receive a 3D pen to take home and continue creating, long after camp ends!

Throughout the camp, campers will explore how 3D technologies are used in exciting fields such as:

  • 3D Printing and Manufacturing
  • 3D Design and Modeling
  • Product Design and Prototyping
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Product Testing


No previous experience is needed! Whether you love building things, drawing, solving puzzles, or simply trying something new, this camp is for you.
