3D Printing Camp Junior

Age Range: Rising 2nd–4th graders (ages 7-10)
Cost: $300 (includes 4 days of camp for one child plus optional parent)

In this half-day camp designed especially for our youngest "makers," campers will learn how to get started with 3D printing. Campers will learn how to create fun designs and set them up for printing. This is a 4-day camp that will meet in the mornings from 8:00 - 11:30. A parent or another responsible adult (16+) is welcome to attend the camp with the child but is not required to do so.

*The cost includes one child (+one optional adult). Campers have the option to add a 3D Printer: a Bambu A1 Mini for $300 or a Bambu A1 for $420.
