At Modeling the Future, campers explore how ideas become real, physical objects through 3D modeling and 3D printing. Campers will learn to use basic CAD(software to draft ideas), create digital models, and work with accurate measurements. They will also learn about the materials they print with, and how different types of plastic behave in different conditions.  Through a series of guided mini-projects, campers practice the full design process by building, testing, identifying what doesn’t work, and redesigning their models. Campers will also learn how to prepare designs for 3D printing and safely produce physical objects. As the camp continues, campers sharpen their skills through feedback and iteration. The camp concludes with a final project where each camper will design and print a tool they get to take home that makes a task they find difficult or tedious easier.
