Description
Participants of this summer will be introduced to the digital side of fabrication. Using the college’s state-of-the-art machine tools, explore 3D printing, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, and large format computer guided wood cutting machine. Students will learn all software that is needed to create/design files for each machine as well as the software for each machine interface. Also included this summer will be the opportunity to create a circuit driven robot with easy programmable instructions. You will be encouraged to utilize all machines in the lab/space to edit and upgrade the programmable robot that you will create from a pre bought kit, provided by the camp.
This camp follows the STEM model for middle and high school students especially for those that plan on pursuing the field of engineering and the arts.
