Learn to design and create projects using 3D Filament Printers!

In this 6-week course for teens and adults, students will gain hands-on experience with a range of modern fabrication tools and techniques. Participants will learn to operate filament 3D printers using design applications such as NOMAD. Through guided projects, students will develop skills in digital design, prototyping, and production, preparing them to confidently create both artistic and functional pieces. Whether you're interested in product design, engineering, or creative technology, this course offers a strong foundation in digital making.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
