Bring your imagination to life. Become a master bricklayer and use our special architectural LEGO® kits to build your creations. Be an architect as you learn the principles of construction. The main goal of the course is to introduce the concept of 3 dimensions and their role in design. Students will construct buildings, structures, towers, castles, and more within teams. Students will learn construction principles and use math skills to experiment with scale and size, staggering vs. stacking bricks, and more. We'll build houses with removable roofs, castles with turrets, and towers of strength! Students will be working in pairs

This camp is a hands-on product design class emphasizing creative thinking and problem-solving. Students will explore options to find, modify, and prepare 3D files to be brought to life using a 3D printer. By the end of this course, students will become familiar with the workflow and terminology of digital fabrication. We begin learning by designing and printing functional fishing lures, then continue solving design challenges.

Students will design 3D objects using TinkerCAD and use the 3D slicing program Cura to bring their creations to life. We will be designing a droid. Create fun designs to complete different out of this world CAD challenges and create themed video games while waiting for models to print. Two 3D models will be printed to bring home. Printing and material fees are included. Star Wars is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC. This camp is not affiliated with them.
