3D Printing & Design Summer Camp in Concord, NC

Parents in Concord, NC book summer in February and regret it in July. Concord is one of the cities the Charlotte–Concord–Gastonia, NC-SC metro area is officially named after. What separates a week worth repeating is whether the child was ever genuinely stuck and then unstuck.

What the week actually is

3D printing teaches patience in a way nothing else does: the model is wrong, the print takes four hours, and the fix has to be found before the next run. Children learn to check their work before spending time, which is a life skill disguised as a hobby.

Day by day

  1. Design in CAD, badly, on purpose
  2. First print, first failure
  3. Tolerance and why it matters
  4. Redesign and reprint
  5. Showcase: the part that fits
