ONLINE COURSES
OUR ONLINE COURSES ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE LATEST TOOLS TO LEARN 3D DESIGN & 3D PRINTING FROM HOME.
Students login into our online portal to find video lessons, exercises and projects.
Our curriculum includes design-thinking challenges to encourage students to solve problems and compete in an exciting and fun way.
SUMMER CAMPS
OUR SUMMER CAMPS ARE A BLAST!
Students design and 3D print...Robots...Race Cars...Drones...and much more.
● Half-day Camps
● Full-day Camps
Students create 3D designs using various kid-friendly computer software. Once they complete their designs, they bring them to life using 3D printers.
The last day is "Competition Day." Students get to compete and test their designs!
STEM TEACHERS & SCHOOLS
WE PROVIDE TEACHERS WITH THE TOOLS AND TRAINING THEY NEED TO BRING 3D DESIGN AND 3D PRINTING INTO THE CLASSROOM.
Our curriculum includes weekly video lessons, exercise, and a final class project where students must work together to accomplish a class design.
Teachers are provided example design-thinking challenges to help students develop problem solving skills.

MISSION
OUR MISSION IS TO:
-
Help children develop the skills they need to become problem solvers.
-
Teach children 21st-century skills to prepare them to meet workforce demands.
Our goal is to bring our program to students everywhere, no matter their race, gender, or economic status.
We work with The STEM Success Foundation, a non-profit organization, to offer scholarships, free workshops, and donate 3d printers to local public libraries.

SUPPLIES
Parents who are interested in purchasing a 3D printer for their student to use at home, ask us which printers we use in our program. Here are the ones we are currently using in no particular order:
The filament that works well with the FlashForge is the Hatchbox PLA (any color). The da Vinci Mini printers require XYZprinting filament.
