Campers still have time to register for Rend Lake College’s iMake Camp, now for a reduced rate of $60 per student, before classes start next month. This Kids Summer Camp will familiarize students with several emerging technologies.
During the eight-day camp, students will learn about and use a number of creative tools such as a 3D printer, computer-aided Design programs, a laser cutter, and a computer numeric control system. Instructor Matt Jackson, RLC’s Industrial Trainer, introduced students to the 3D printer during a Kids Summer Camp last year and helped campers turn the RLC Clocktower into a true-to-scale model.
Sam Buesking of Mt. Vernon, a 2015 Kids Summer Camper, helped Instructor Matt Jackson remove a three-dimensional model of the RLC Clocktower from the college’s 3D printer. Buesking and the other campers visited the clocktower earlier during the camp and made a small-scale model on Minecraft, which was then printed. Click on the image for a larger view.
