This 5 week workshop is designed to allow aspiring makers and tech enthusiasts to have hands-on experience and training on 3D printers. Students will be engaging in building, tweaking, and maintaining a 3D printer, and may even take home their own 3D printer to take at the end of the workshop. This is a great opportunity to allow students who really would like to use and get familiar with 3D printing, but do not have the resources, to get the experience they would like. The course requires some knowledge of building and wiring. Some 3D modelling and programming experience is recommended.
