iD Tech: 3D Printing Camp with Blender

Unbox endless possibilities with 3D printing! Explore the vast world of digital art with Blender, a powerful 3D modeling and animation software used by industry artists, including creators of the Oscar-winning film Flow. You’ll model designs from your imagination, like custom toys and characters. Then, transform them into tactile prints—from functional desk art to keychains or fidget toys. Create a lineup of adorable pets or build an articulated reptile with movable parts. Plug in your 3D models and watch them come to life layer by layer on the print bed! Once they’ve cooled off, you can use colorful paint markers, sanding paper, and tools to add the final touch. The best part? At the end of the week, all your creations will go home with you!   Ages 10 - 12 June 1 - 5
