Moving Nature: Bugs, Birds and more 

This engaging camp invites young explorers to discover the beauty of the natural world through art and technology. Designed for curious minds ages 6–8, Moving Nature blends outdoor inspiration with 3D design and printing for an unforgettable creative experience.
Campers will observe and learn about insects, birds, plants, and natural patterns. Guided by caring instructors, they’ll transform these observations into their own 3D designs—using 3D pens and kid-friendly digital tools like TinkerCAD. From crafting bugs and leaves to modeling branches and wings, each project helps students understand symmetry, form, and structure.
Every day includes a mix of creative time, outdoor exploration, and design sessions. Kids might sketch a leaf during a walk, then recreate it digitally or with a 3D pen back in the classroom. Instructors then print their designs, allowing campers to watch creations materialize layer by layer.
This camp nurtures imagination, fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and teamwork. Through hands-on activities and group projects, students gain confidence in both STEM and creative thinking—learning how to solve problems while having fun.
By the end of the week, campers will take home several nature-inspired 3D printed models and memories of joyful learning under the sun.
No experience required—just curiosity and a love for nature!

Cosmic Creations: 3D Printing the Universe

3D Printing the Universe
In this imaginative and exploratory camp, students take on the role of space engineers, scientists, and visionaries—designing and 3D printing their own interpretations of the universe. From rockets and satellites to planets, moons, rovers, and alien habitats, campers bring outer space to life using creativity and digital modeling.
Throughout the program, kids will use intuitive tools like TinkerCAD to build models inspired by real NASA missions and their own cosmic ideas. They’ll explore scale, symmetry, and functionality while learning how design plays a role in science, space travel, and planetary exploration.
Projects may include 3D-printed models of planets, space stations, intergalactic creatures, or even entire solar systems. Each camper will blend imagination with problem-solving—thinking through how objects are structured, move, and fit together in space.
This program strengthens spatial reasoning, storytelling, and STEM foundations, while encouraging campers to think big and explore the unknown.
By the end of the week, students will walk away with several space-themed 3D prints and the confidence to keep designing bold ideas—on this planet and beyond.
No prior experience is needed—just a sense of wonder!

Minecraft: Build Your Figures

In this playful and creative camp, young Minecraft fans step away from the screen and into the world of physical design. Using beginner-friendly 3D modeling tools, campers will recreate their favorite Minecraft characters, mobs, and tools—and even invent their own!
Throughout the program, students learn how to design blocky figures that reflect the iconic Minecraft style while developing spatial thinking, symmetry, and proportion. Each camper will design their own figurines, customize accessories, and prepare them for 3D printing.
While the theme is rooted in fun and imagination, the skills are very real: campers gain hands-on experience with digital modeling, basic geometry, and creative planning. They’ll get to see their designs turn into real objects—bringing the Minecraft universe to life in their hands.
By the end of the camp, each child will have their own 3D-printed Minecraft-style model to take home, plus the confidence to continue creating independently.
This camp is perfect for imaginative builders, Minecraft lovers, and anyone who enjoys turning ideas into real-world creations.
No Minecraft gameplay is required—just a love for creativity and cubes!

Articulated Creatures: Snakes, Dragons & More!

Snakes, Dragons & More! – Articulated Creatures
In this exciting and hands-on camp, students dive into the world of articulated 3D design—where their creations don’t just look cool, they actually move! Tailored for curious minds ages 9–12, this program teaches kids how to design and print creatures like snakes, dragons, bugs, and robotic animals with real working joints.
Campers will explore how to create hinges, segments, and connected parts that bend, twist, and rotate. Using TinkerCAD and other beginner-friendly tools, they’ll design fully articulated models from scratch and learn how to troubleshoot, refine, and prepare them for 3D printing.
Alongside technical design, students will exercise imagination as they invent their own creatures and bring them to life—choosing colors, shapes, and features that express their creativity.
What makes this camp so special is the “wow” moment when campers hold a moving 3D-printed creation that started as an idea in their head. It builds confidence, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills in a way that feels like play—but lays the foundation for future innovation in design, robotics, and engineering.
This camp is perfect for builders, inventors, storytellers, and kids who love to figure out how things work.
No prior experience required—just a love for creatures and creativity!

Mastering the 3D Pen: Art & Engineering

This hands-on camp invites kids into the fun and surprisingly powerful world of 3D pen creation. Using colorful, child-safe 3D pens, campers will “draw in the air” to build their own structures, wearable accessories, mini sculptures, and creative art pieces—layer by layer, strand by strand.
Throughout the week, students will learn how to plan 3D forms, sketch with intention, and use design thinking to solve real challenges. They’ll experiment with techniques for stability, curves, joining pieces, and even motion-based elements, building both artistic and engineering skills.
What makes this camp especially exciting is that there’s no screen—just creativity, motion, and hands-on making. Campers get to think like engineers while feeling like artists. They’ll leave each session with physical creations they’re proud of and the confidence to keep building more.
