3D Printing: Design, Create, and Print Your Own Projects (Ages 8-11)

Step into the exciting world of 3D printing! In this hands-on summer camp, you'll explore the history and evolution of 3D printing technology and discover how it's shaping industries today. Youth will learn the basics of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to create simple 3D models, prepare files for printing, and understand the workflow from design to finished product. You'll also learn how to find free, ready-to-print files online and gain practical experience by printing your own parts to take home. We'll cover the different types of 3D printers available on the market, their features, and the costs associated with owning and operating them. By the end of camp, you'll have the skills to design, source, and print your own creations--perfect for hobbyists, future engineers, and innovators! 4 sessions running Monday through Thursday, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM daily.

Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) Summer Program - Week 1

The Engineering Projects in Community Service program, known as EPICS, is a national award-winning social entrepreneurship program. Students design, build, and deploy systems to solve engineering-based problems for charities, schools, and other not-for-profit organizations. During this program, students will be introduced to engineering design, rapid prototyping (laser cutting, CAD, Arduino, 3D printing), and prototype testing through a hands-on, application-based summer camp. Members from the community will introduce a problem encountered by their non-profit, and students will spend the week designing, building, and testing a possible solution to meet their user needs. EPICS projects range from solar panel battery systems, engagement toys for animals at the Phoenix Zoo, 3D printed prosthetics, and tools for training service dogs. Week runs June 8th - 12th, 2026.
