SERIES OF CLASSES

2-Day Camp | Ages 8–14 | Beginner-Friendly | No Experience Needed

🧠 Create. Innovate. Bring Ideas to Life.

What if your child could imagine something… and then hold it in their hands by the end of the day?
Welcome to the future of creativity — our 3D Printing & Design Camp!

In this exciting, hands-on workshop, students explore how ideas move from imagination to reality through 3D design, digital modeling, and real-world printing technology.
They’ll learn to design in Tinkercad, prepare their files for printing, and experiment with different materials — including flexible filaments that let them create fun, functional, and futuristic inventions.

🚀 A Future-Ready Holiday Experience

Forget passive vacation care — this is where curiosity meets technology.
Our camp runs from 9am to 3pm, just like a school day, but every minute is packed with creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on innovation.
Students don’t just watch — they design, test, and build their own ideas.

👦 Ideal for Ages 8–14

Perfect for dreamers, builders, and young inventors who love to create and explore.
Your child will:
🌟 Learn how 3D printers are shaping industries — from medicine to space!
💡 Design personalized creations using Tinkercad
⚙️ Master the process of slicing, printing, and finishing real 3D objects
🧠 Build problem-solving, spatial thinking, and design skills
🎨 Take home usable, show-stopping 3D prints they designed themselves

💬 What Parents Are Saying

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Skill Samurai is awesome! My son is REALLY into 3D printing so when we found out about Skill Samurai's 3D print workshops we had to give it a go. My son totally loved it! He learned a whole lot more about 3D printing when he was there and Kieren really encouraged him to explore his passion and creativity. We will definitely continue coming back and totally recommend Skill Samurai. The office is a fun, beautiful space with great equipment and cool artwork and it makes you feel good being there. Thanks to Kieren and the team for all your help. We love what you're doing and looking forward to seeing you again."
