Engineering For All

Fowler School of Engineering is proud to offer engineering workshops for middle school and high school students over the summer. Middle school sessions are open to grades 6-8 and high school sessions are open to grades 9-12. 
 

Intro to Design and Fabrication for Middle School and High School Students

Design and fabricate an LED-powered decorative light and learn about the basics of computer-aided design, 3D printing, and laser engraving in the process.
 
Session 1: July 14 and July 21
Session 2: July 28 and August 4
  
High School sessions: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Middle School sessions: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
   
$78
   
Middle School

Students will attend two three-hour sessions on consecutive Friday afternoons. The first day will consist of creating their custom light design, 3D modeling, and 3D printing the base. The second day will involve engraving their designs on acrylic and assembling the electronic components to light up their part.

They will learn three software solutions that are commonly used in the industry for designing and manufacturing products: Fusion 360, Prusa Slicer, and Adobe Illustrator. The end product will be an acrylic panel with a custom-engraved picture that sits on a 3D-printed stand and lights up when powered via USB.

High School:

Students will attend two two-hour sessions on consecutive Friday mornings. The first day will consist of creating their custom light design, 3D modeling, and 3D printing the base. The second day will involve assembling the electronic components and programming an Arduino to create custom lighting sequences and colors.

They will learn four software solutions that are commonly used in the industry for designing and manufacturing products: Fusion 360, Prusa Slicer, Arduino IDE, and Adobe Illustrator. The end product will be an acrylic panel with a custom-engraved picture that sits on a 3D-printed stand and lights up when powered via USB.
