Description

Code & Create: 3D Printing Adventures!

Grade Level: 1st - 5th

Tuesdays at 11 AM


Unlock the magic of turning computer code into real plastic objects! Designed specifically for young learners in grades 1–5, this course blends computer science with hands-on manufacturing. Students use BlocksCAD to snap visual code blocks together to build unique digital models. Along the way, they naturally master essential math concepts like geometry, symmetry, and logic. Finally, they learn to slice their designs and watch them print live on a 3D printer. Every child designs, codes, and takes home their own custom-printed creation!
