Nerding: 3D Printing

3D Printing is Nerding’s all time most popular class! Nerds love to take this class over and over, so we are now regularly changing projects and to keep things fresh and challenging for returning nerds. Also, we have 6 brand new printers this year that are literally 4x faster! I know! We can barely believe it ourselves! In this fun hands-on class, nerds will craft 3D models using intuitive CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software tailored for kids. From concept to creation, they’ll master the printing process, witnessing their designs materialize layer by layer before their eyes, and proudly take home their masterpiece. But it’s not just about crafting cool gadgets – it’s about the journey of discovery. Alongside honing math and spatial reasoning skills essential for navigating the 3D design landscape, nerds will explore the applications of 3D printing. From prosthetics enhancing lives to constructing homes and even venturing to space, discover how this technology is shaping tomorrow’s world. What idea will you bring to life this summer?
