LEARN HOW TO 3D PRINT & COMPUTER-AID-DESIGN (CAD)

9-14 Yr Olds

Join us to learn how to use technology to design a solid object using TINKERCAD, a 3D app used for design, electronics and coding! Participants will design their own small object that we will then 3D print for you to take home (ex: chess pawn, keychain, mini-figures, etc). Join us to have a blast while learning the basics of designing, mechanics, electronics and coding. Since 3D printing takes some time, you will pick up your project at a later date from Zeeland Recreation.
