Unleash your creativity this summer with 3D printing. Learn design, engineering, and technical software skills in our live online classes. Control 3D printers through your web browser and watch them print your models in real-time.
What is 3D printing?
3D printing or additive manufacturing is the making of three-dimensional solid objects from a digital code. This is achieved using a process where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
Why is 3D printing important?
It is one of the key future technologies. As the 3D printing industry grows, the landscape will change for job seekers, so it is critical for today’s students to become fluent with the programs and machines required for 3D printing preparing them for 21st-century careers.
Each live class is limited to 4 students, so everyone receives individual attention from our qualified product design instructors. Students will not just learn about software but also the basics of product design from idea to manufacturing. Each child will receive the printed products by mail.

- Assign settings to a 3D printer online.
- Control a 3D printer remotely to print his or her object.
Sample projects for level 1
- Letter keychain
- Person shape cut through keychain
- Emoji tag
- Face shape ear bud holder
- Signet ring
- Braclet/ Wristband
LEVEL 2:
This is the second step in the introduction to 3D printing journey. Tuition $150, Materials and Shipping $38.
In this 5-day class your child will:
- Practice the 3D printing concepts learned in level 1.

We are makers that help you make
We started teaching children computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD & CAM) in our makerspace lab in 2018. Our focus has been on product design that enables a child to repair, make, and invent for their everyday life.
With the closure of in-person makerspace classes, we decided to apply our pedagogy to online making and are offering online 3D design and printing classes starting in June 2020.
