Design Studio
Design Studio is an afternoon activity where students have freedom and choice to work on anything they can imagine! Students can explore a range of design, fabrication and digital tools (ex: workshop tools, jewelry, OnShape for laser cutting and 3D printing, coding, and more), as well as materials to transform ideas to life. Students will tinker with a variety of tools, methods and materials through mini-projects at the beginning of the term and create a student-driven culminating project of their choice for the second half of the term. Past examples include a piano-playing robot, light-up fairy wings, and a retro Pong game. No prior design, coding, robotics and/or fabrication experiences required and all are welcome!
