Minnesota JCC

Learn the ins and outs of 3D design and 3D printing with TinkerCAD in this creative camp. Students will explore 3D modeling skills while designing custom mobs and Minecraft-inspired creations. Along the way, they will experiment with shapes, structures, and design elements that bring their ideas to life. While prints are finishing, campers can take part in Minecraft-themed challenges and even create video games inspired by the block-building universe. Each student will have two small printed designs sent home. Printing and material fees are included. Bring a USB drive on the last day.

Unlock Your Inner Engineer! Discover the building blocks of mechanical engineering through hands-on exploration. Using LEGO® Education and LEGO® Technic™ materials, students will investigate how pulleys, levers, gears, and wheels work together to power machines. Working in pairs, they will practice building techniques, test mechanical principles, and solve engineering challenges designed to spark creativity and problem-solving. This class encourages teamwork, experimentation, and applied learning as students explore how engineering concepts can be used to design and build their own unique creations.

Step into the world of Pokémon with a week of exciting STEAM adventures! Students will design and build their own coding projects, from interactive games to creative animations, while also making Pokémon-themed stop-motion films. They’ll construct sets and props, tackle fun STEAM challenges, and bring their ideas to life through coding and creativity. Along the way, students strengthen problem-solving and teamwork skills. Basic reading skills recommended. Bring a USB drive on the last day. Pokémon is a trademark of Nintendo of America Inc. This camp is not affiliated with them.
