Robotics Camp - Holiday - null

3D Modeling and Design with Lego Building

In this hands-on program campers will be using TinkerCAD. We will cover features and tools available in the application; talk about different aspects of design like perspective, measurements, proportions, interior design, architecture, etc. Campers will model different objects while progressing through the curriculum. We will give them challenges to recreate designs, build famous places in the world (e.g. Golden Gate Bridge), and give them time to create their own masterpieces implementing their wildest ideas into life. We will work with 3D printer, and learn how to prepare the model for printing, print and maintain the model. Each student will have 2 printed creations.  

Campers will use Lego blocks to build their designs. They will learn how to prepare step-by-step layered instructions for Lego building.

Campers will investigate the problems and find possible solutions working in collaboration with peers and their instructor. This program will teach kids to present their thoughts and designs, discuss the possible options and go through all the phases of the Design Thinking Process.

We will provide each student with a laptop to work on individual and group projects. No sharing of the equipment.
