AI & 3D Printing for Future Innovators - Summer camp 2025

Prepare your child for the future with this hands-on, cutting-edge workshop that combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 3D printing. Young innovators will learn how AI can enhance creativity and engineering, turning their ideas into real, physical objects through digital design and fabrication.

Guided by expert instructors, students will:
✅ Explore AI-powered design tools
✅ Create 3D models with the latest technology
✅ Print their own designs using state-of-the-art 3D printers
✅ Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
✅ Gain a competitive edge in future STEM fields

By the end of the week, students will bring home a 3D-printed creation of their own design and gain a deeper understanding of how AI is shaping the future of technology and innovation.

Instruction will be held over at the lab!
