                                        Week 6: Design Your World
                                                 July 30 - August 3
                                         Instructor: Corinne Takara


Campers will create models of architectural spaces, functional objects and invent new design solutions for living spaces. They will go through the design thinking process as they construct cardboard models of their dream bedrooms and embed circuitry into their structures.  Campers will use Tinkercad (a 3D rendering tool) as well as traditional prototyping materials and circuitry in their design explorations. The projects will engage campers in calculating ratios and proportions to develop scale models.
