BRING YOUR IMAGINATION TO LIFE

Future Stars 3D Printing & Design Camp gives campers the tools to turn their ideas into real-world creations. Using 3D modeling software (primarily Tinkercad), campers learn to design, model, and refine digital creations before bringing them to life with advanced 3D printing. This hands-on experience develops creativity, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail.

Campers tackle fun, step-by-step projects that challenge them to design original models and manufacture downloaded objects. Each week features new projects, friendly competitions, and collaborative challenges, ensuring every camper has a fresh and exciting experience.

Programs take place in fully equipped classrooms and computer labs, with all materials provided. Recreational games and swimming round out the day, balancing learning, creativity, and fun.
