Aimed at children, this class is a complete introduction to 3D printing. Send your kids to experience first hand, what people are saying will change everything. They will get hands on experience with a 3D printer and get to print there own thing!
This intro class includes a 3D printed object of your choice that you can take home with you. Print time is limited to 1 hour per person, so your part will need to be smallish things that can print in one hour (we will scale the object down to print in 1 hour, but if you start with a big part, detail will be lost)
For bonus points you can sign up for tinkercad.com and draw your own 3D part for printing.
