This course gives students the skills they need to create their own 3D-printed models using design thinking! The basics of 3D design & printing are explored by modeling a house from the ground up – anything from a modern home to a lunar dwelling – applying math, science, art, and technology skills along the way. They’ll have fun building on their skills week-after-week by creating products, toys, and models that challenge them to think outside of the box. We give opportunities in this course for students to design anything that they can dream up, from their favorite video games characters, to a functional tablet stand, the sky is the limit. This course is a great introduction into the world of 3D printing from design to fabrication and can be taken multiple times with a mix of new projects and revised builds each semester.
**Registration fee covers one take-home 3D print for every two classes.
