Fabrication Camp for Students Aged 10-15
Students learn about digital fabrication, making both artistic and
practical designs using laser cutting, vinyl cutting, 3D printing, and
CNC router technology. LMC Bertrand Crossing is one of only
approximately 100 Fab Labs (short for Fabrication Laboratory) in the
world that believe anyone can make almost anything. Participants learn
about mechanical and software design, problem solving, and teamwork
skills. Students will complete several projects and mini challenges.
