3D Printing: Pokémon-Inspired

Become a Pokémon master of 3D design by creating your very own Pokémon characters with TinkerCAD. Students will explore CAD modeling, experiment with shapes and features, and bring their digital creatures to life with 3D printers. Along the way, they will also experiment with SimLab and design Pokémon-themed video games, combining creativity with hands-on technology. The class introduces the basics of CAD modeling and design software while encouraging imagination and exploration. Each student will have two small printed designs sent home. Printing and material fees are included. Bring a USB drive on the last day. Pokémon is a trademark of Nintendo of America Inc. and not affiliated with this camp.
