Have you imagined a world where printers are commonly used to print out everyday objects -- like keys and phone cases? Many predict that for future generations of teens, 3D printers will be in almost every household and be able to do just that. STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) 3D utilizes a structured curriculum, workbook and a web-based CAD (computer-aided design) program that allows you to optimize learning while having a great time.

This class begins teaching you the core basics of 3D printing and continues until you have gained expertise in 3D designing and printing. Each day we will assign a new project for you to create and print including items such as a rocket ship, ice cream cone and castle. STEAM 3D is led by teens and aided by an adult supervisor.

The teen instructors and advisor hail from Creative Children for Charity (3C) and have taught classes and sponsored hackathons at Coder Dojo in Bellevue and The Garage on the Microsoft campus. The registration fees from this class will go to support other STEAM-hosted youth events in our community including a summer STEAM3D Hackathon. There will be a $35 materials fee added to the registration.
