The new 3D Printing Camp is just one of about 50 day and overnight camps at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach and Prescott campuses this summer for children ages 5 to 18. The camps, which introduce students to various fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), range from robotics and aerospace engineering to computer coding and flight training.
The overnight camp was designed to give teens a basic immersion into the three-dimensional printing world. Students learned basic principles of engineering and 3-D modeling using Tinkercad and zSpace (virtual reality modeling). Along with a tour to 3D Material Technologies in DeLand, teens gained hands-on experience in Embry-Riddle’s advanced Makerspace Lab, including 3D Makerbot Replicator 2X printers, 3D pens, along with virtual reality headsets.
The program is developed and taught by alumni Juan Granizo and…
