Typically, children are told not to touch equipment. But at Suncoast Science Center, children are encouraged to explore that curiosity and learn how to properly use the equipment available to them.
All summer long, Suncoast Science Center is offering weeklong camps ranging from Awesome Arduino to Robotics Lab, Electrifying Electronics, Fab Creations, 3-D Design and Design Squad.
During 3-D Design camps, students learn to build, starting with their imaginations. With software, laser cutters, mold- making and 3-D printers at their disposal, the possibilities can grow exponentially.
Fab Creations introduces campers in fourth through eighth grades to the machinery and software necessary to design and create objects. Campers design and cut their own key chains using a laser cutter, custom wooden sunglasses and even tiny paper-airplane launchers.
