3 This hands-on training will teach basics of computer programming. Campers will learn how computers work, as well as how to control devices and components with computers. In addition, they will learn to use various solid-state (electronic) sensors to detect electrical, magnetic or physical signals and process them to gather useful information, such as temperature, humidity, or the speed of moving objects. An Arduino-based kit will be provided, and all circuits with programming steps will be explained. The student will be trained with hands-on examples of how to read schematics and assembly plans, and how to build functioning electronics circuits on breadboards and test for functionality. Lunches and snacks will be provided daily. This camp is an introductory course, so no prior experience in programming is required.

June 11 June 15 Age Group: 14 17 Prior Experience: Basics of programming Camp Fee: $325 Engineering CAD & 3D Printing Welcome to future of the design and product development!

Each camper will learn basic concepts of product design and development on paper and then bring it to life with a modern 3D printer.

5 June 11 June 15 Age Group: Prior Experience: Basics of programming Camp Fee: $325 Engineering CAD & 3D Printing Welcome to future of the design and product development!. Be ready for a fun and exciting camp experience through hands-on, project-based learning. Design and develop products from hand sketches to physical models with 3D Printing. Each camper will learn basic concepts of product design and development on paper and then bring it to life with a modern 3D printer. Students will work in teams of two students, and a 3D printer will be assigned individually to each team. Students will learn 3D-Printing basics. Using computer-aided design (CAD) software such as Autodesk and SolidWorks, the students will design 3D objects and artifacts for various projects. Throughout this exciting summer camp, the students will turn their ideas into reality as they learn and have fun during the five days. 4
