3D Printing summer camp now enrolling at SCC

Published: 06/17/2016

St. Charles Community College will be offering a College for All Kids summer camp on 3D printing July 11-15. 3D modeling and 3D printing are some of the fastest growing fields. At this camp, kids ages 11-14 will learn how to take an idea for a new product, toy or tool from their imagination and turn it into a 3D design that can be made on SCC’s new MakerBot 3D printer. 

Thanks to a grant awarded to College for All Kids camp from Cognizant Technology Solutions, registration for this camp is only $25. Cognizant Technology Solutions awarded 40 grants to expand after-school, in-school and summer programs across more than 60 sites in 25 states through its Making the Future education initiative. Designed to promote creativity and inspire interest in STEM among young learners, the initiative supports fun, hands-on "making" programs for students from grade school through high school. The 2016 grants will provide approximately 175,000 hours of making activities, including projects on electronics, robotics, computer programming, digital fabrication, 3D printing and wearable technology.

The camp will be held Monday, July 11-Friday, July 15, from 12:30-4:30 p.m. and costs $25. To register or learn more about camp schedules and pricing, visit www.stchas.edu/learnforlife.
