3D Printing Studio - Hyatt
Imagination meets technology when makers get an intro to modeling software and 3D printer basics to fabricate their own designs straight from their imagination. Makers be fascinated to see a model they design come to life before their eyes during the first class session. Each session explores intro 2D and 3D modeling techniques that makers will use to make their own 3D creations that they take home. Makers may choose from select pre-designed models to fabricate, as well as complete design and print projects such as ball mazes, spinning keyrings, and a challenge to design their own useful model.

Maker Studio
Get creative with your "big brain energy"!
In the Maker Studio, makers problem-solve by hacking simple items to create energy machines, scrappy paper circuits, 3d mazes, and more! Makers will explore engineering and physics principles in weekly projects using a little bit of circuitry, 3D printing, coding, and robotics. These sessions are perfect for those new to maker activities or those that have already stepped up to the maker challenge.
