Last night inside the 3D Printing Lab at JJC's Romeoville Campus, we wrapped up the final lesson in our popular Build a 3D Printer class. We can't wait to see what exciting projects these 3D printers start to produce!

Love seeing our local libraries doing amazing things with 3D printing!

Did your child receive a 3D printer for Christmas, and they're unsure how to use it? ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿค” This class is the perfect introduction to the exciting world of 3D printing!

Students will dive into the fundamentals of 3D printing technology and learn 3D modeling using Tinkercad, an easy-to-use, kid-friendly design platform. Theyโ€™ll explore how digital designs turn into real, physical objects layer by layer and bring their own creative ideas to life. Let your young innovator design, create and discover the magic of making! ๐Ÿš€

This is a HANDS-ON class! Most 3D printing classes arenโ€™t able to provide that because they donโ€™t have enough printers nor the expertise to maintain the printers. We do! Your kids will get so much out of it!

Ready to turn imagination into reality? In this three-day MakerLab at Joliet Junior College workshop, young creators will go from curious beginners to confident makers! Using TinkerCAD, kids will learn how to design their own custom 3D objects, explore the art of reverse engineering and even get an introduction to building a 3D printer. No experience needed ... just curiosity and creativity! ๐Ÿฏ๐—— ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด & ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ž๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐˜€ (๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ๐—– ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฑ) begins Wednesday, Nov. 5 at JJC's Romeoville Campus.
