Design thinking is an integral process in the world of inventing and will help expand camper’s views on problem solving. While things like prototyping and testing will be gone over, topics such as empathy centered design and effective brainstorming will also be covered. Campers will learn problem solving skills while also learning basic 3D skills through 3D printing and basic 2D design skills through laser cutting. By the end of the week campers will have designed and built multiple projects to take home! Cost $260 plus $90 lab fee.
