Steamoji is a dynamic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) designed to inspire young builders, makers, and inventors! In this mission, apprentices will deep dive into 3D design software, mastering essential tools and exploring multi-key commands to create more intricate designs with moving parts. They'll also learn how to slice their creations, an essential step for successful 3D printing.
This Mission will help apprentices think not just in 3 dimensions and scale, but also think in terms of the fabrication process that their models must undergo. They will plan for layer-by-layer construction, add scaffold-like supports to their models, and find the right balance between strength and efficiency. This is an introductory and accessible course (no prerequisites) where children will get step-by-step instructions in an inclusive and supportive environment for all creators! Let’s get building.
