During our week, students will dive into Engineering! They will learn about the engineering design process, CAD (Computer Aided Design) designing, and 3D printing.  Students will also participate in fun and engaging critical thinking activities, hands on ice-breakers, and diving into various engineering projects. Projects may include spaghetti stick bridges, paper tower challenge, lego design challenges, rocket competition, flight, and more! Each day is a new adventure and students are guaranteed to have a ton of fun, be challenged, get engaged, make friends/memories, and learn!

STEPS FOR 3D PRINTING:

Steps for Dremel Slicing Software:

1. When you are finished with your design, go to "export" in tinkercad, and export as a .STL

2. Search up "Dremel" on the computer to pull up the Dremel Digilab 3D Software. Select the printer "3D45" OR 3D40 depeing on which printer you are assigned

3. Upload your file into the software by going to "file" "open file" and then go to your downloads, and click on the file you downloaded. 

4. Under material- select PLA. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

5. Make sure you select "ultra fast" or "low quality" and go to supports, and check off the box next to generate supports.
