Discovering STEM Through Astronomy and 3D Printing
June 27, 2022 @ 8:00 am - July 1, 2022 @ 5:00 pm PDT
Ages: 13+
Registration Deadline: May 23
The Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Career Exploration Lab uses 3D printing technologies and astronomy to help students with visual impairments explore STEM skills and STEM careers. Students will be introduced to 3D printing; including building 3D printers and participating in a wide variety of hands-on astronomy activities that use 3D printed tactile models. Students will learn about constellations, stars, the moon, light and energy, galaxies, and more. Students will also connect with blind STEM professionals, including a blind engineer who works at NASA, about how to pursue an education and career in STEM.
