3D Printing: Nintendo-Themed Characters
Bring your favorite video game worlds to life by creating Nintendo-inspired characters with TinkerCAD while learning essential 3D design skills. Students will model unique creations in three dimensions, experiment with shapes and structures, and transform their digital ideas into real objects using 3D printers. While prints are finishing, campers can join Nintendo-themed challenges and even design their own video games inspired by the characters they love. Each student will have two small printed projects sent home. Printing and material fees are included. Bring a USB drive on the last day. Nintendo is a trademark of Nintendo of America Inc. and not affiliated with this camp.
*Exact age/grade availability depends on each district's listing.
Hands-on project-based learning. Work in small groups. Take home your creations.
What students will do
This camp turns Minecraft into a logic playground: students practice structured thinking while building things they actually want to show off.
- Hands-on project-based learning

What to know
Quick details parents care about — clear, scannable, and reduces "before camp" emails.
Bring a USB on the last day to save your projects.
Great for students who enjoy Minecraft and want a deeper, more "engineering" style experience.
