Worcester Academy: Summer 3D Design & Printing

3D printing and design is a fast and growing technology field. In this camp, campers will get to create 3D computer aided designs of common objects and pieces out of their imagination.

The 3D designs created on the computer will then be printed on the 3D printer! From your head to a physical object in a short amount of time! Participants will work collaboratively to create and improve their designs by giving each other feedback on their work. Campers will be provided computers to use on campus during the week at camp. They will learn the design process and will be able to iteratively make changes and retest their designs.

Campers will be provided computers and other hardware to use at camp. Campers of all levels will be challenged to create something appropriate for their age and ability level. Possible projects include creating containers, cars, board game pieces, artistic pieces, action figures and many more. Campers will be given flexibility in choosing the objects they will create and they will get to take home their creations at the end of the week! After lunch each day, the campers will participate in different activities including swimming and dodgeball.
