Session 3: Design Your World
July 12 - July 23
Instructor: Corinne Takara
Campers will create models of architectural spaces and functional objects, and invent new design solutions for living spaces. They will go through the design thinking process as they construct cardboard models of a 'green' home, embedding 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.
