STEAMmaker Camp Day 2

On Day 2 of STEAMmaker Camp we were very excited to learn more about creating objects for the 3D printer to create. We learned in the software "Sketchup" and were able to manipulate basic shapes. Several of the students were able to print their designs to take home!

The Aerospace station was a big hit and really kept us busy. The object was not only to create an object that could be lifted, but there was a challenge to see how much weight our aircraft could carry. What a fun challenge! Even when we were successful, the challenge pushed us to make modifications and continuously try to better our designs.

We ended the day at the music station. Some students chose to make musical instruments with recycled materials while others chose to be composers of their own music. I think we laughed at this station the most :) Looking forward to our last day tomorrow! Can't wait to see what else we will learn about!
