Adventures in 3D Printing & Modeling

Overview:

In this course, students follow the same process as an industrial designer – putting an idea on paper, construct it with everyday materials, and  turn it into a 3D model using TinkerCAD, and then bringing it to life with a Dremel Idea Builder 3D printer. Adventures in 3D Printing & Modeling was developed for kids who want to bring their ideas and creations to life with a real 3D-printed model. Students use cutting-edge 3D-printing technology to produce, evaluate and reiterate models and design creations.

Tech Smart strongly supports enriching young minds with Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math—otherwise known as S.T.E.A.M. 

• This class is designed for kids 6-14.

• We offer this course as a full day experience.

Game & Story Lab

Overview:

This class uses a programming environment where students can make simple animations and games with objects and characters that interact with each other. Design an animation or game, code with blocks or JavaScript to make it work, then share their game with others. Students will build on their coding experience as they create programmatic images, animations, interactive art, and games. Starting off with simple shapes and building up to more sophisticated sprite-based games, Students become familiar with the programming concepts and the design process computer scientists use daily.
