Program Description

Event Details

Each month we will take on a 3D design project using a CAD software.  This month we will create our own musical fidgets that will play a simple melody (12 notes) when the slider passes over the bars.  Alternating the length of the bars will produce different notes.  We will explore basic music theory and design a custom fidget to play notes of your choice. 

Some 3D design experience in Tinkercad or similar program is helpful but not required. Please note that due to the time it takes to 3D print an object, finished projects may need to be picked up after the class.  You will receive a confirmation email when your finished printed project is ready for pick up.  For students in grades 4-7.

Registration opens January 1 at 8am.
