3D Design & Printing

Learn to design in Tinkercad and see your creation come to life with our 3D printer! Each class introduces a new technique in Tinkercad or other 3D design tools. Participants will have the opportunity to create a project which will be printed out for pick up later. Classes are on the second Saturday of the month, except in June and October, when it will be on the third Saturday.

No experience necessary, participants do not have to participate in all sessions.
