BRING YOUR IMAGINATION TO LIFE

Future Stars Blender & Advanced 3D Printing Camp gives campers the tools and guidance to bring their digital ideas to life. Campers use industry-standard technology to design, model, texture, and animate their creations, then bring them into the physical world through advanced 3D printing.

Throughout the week, campers tackle hands-on projects that build creativity, problem-solving, and technical skills. They explore advanced modeling techniques, refine their designs, and see their digital creations materialize as real objects. This camp is perfect for young innovators who want to push their design skills to the next level.
