Carolina Shag Dancing (rising seventh to ninth grade)

3-D Modeling and Printing (rising seventh to 12th grade)

3-D printing is the future of manufacturing, and it has many scientific and medical applications as well. Students will use computer software to create three-dimensional renderings of an object, and then they will employ geometric constraints and extrusions to modify the rendering. Finally, they will set-up and run a 3-D printer to create the object. It sounds complex, but it really is fun when Joshua Kelly, BCCC mechanical engineering instructor, leads the way. All supplies are included, and participants will carry home the object they create. This program will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. from July 23 to Aug. 1. Cost is $50.
