During Saint Louis University's 3D Printing Summer Camp, students learn the fundamentals of 3D printing and design. By the end of camp, students build their own functioning 3D printers they get to take home. In addition, students get an opportunity to experience college life by socializing with other campers, touring SLU's engineering facilities and eating at SLU's dining halls!

The Teacher Camp provides fundamental concepts of 3D printing that teachers can incorporate into their classrooms. At the end of camp, teachers have their own functioning 3D printers to take back to their classrooms.

This is a day camp only; overnight housing is not provided for the 3D Printing Summer Camp.
