Students in this camp are expected to use provided 3D models, but purchased and public-domain (free) models/sculptures or student-created objects are also acceptable. This camp is great for students who like seeing how things are made and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. Camp participants should have parental supervision when accessing the Internet to download 3D object files and when using craft tools and materials. Safe practices and gear should always be used when completing hands-on projects (well-ventilated areas, protective glasses, nitrile gloves).
