VIP Summer Fab Lab Boot CAMP , laser, 3D printing, INVITATION ONLY

If you've taken part of our regular bootcamp series in previous years, then this camp is for you. You will get a brief reintroduction to the equipment in the lab. Then you will embark on 4 days of project completion. We have two large projects to complete for the lab and we need your creativity and help. The projects include a 3D filament recycle machine as well as coin (token) pusher arcade machine (similar to what you may have seen in an arcade).

VIP BootCamp focuses on problem solving, creativity as well as developing some technical skills to complete the projects at hand. Six participants will be chosen and they will need to work collaboratively in order to complete these tasks. Techs will be available for guidance, but the participants are going to come up with the ideas for completion. Participants should be at least 12 years of age at the time of the camp. Younger participants will be accepted if there's still seats available.

Please note that there are no take home items in this camp. This is a camp to get the participants to work together and develop more critical thinking and problem solving skills. Failure will happen (and we encourage that, since that's how we learn) but the focus will be on overcoming those failures to achieve success. Participants identified to take part in this camp will have NO OUT OF POCKET expense. We are utilizing grant money to pay for this camp.

PARTICIPANTS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER APRIL 1ST OF THEIR ACCEPTANCE.

Registration for this camp closes one week prior to allow time to purchase required materials. Registration is limited. Projects are subject to change based on material availability. Once registered, you'll receive an email asking for the participant(s) name, age, and gender for our instructor's roster. If you have questions, please email them to[email protected].
