One-Week Workshop, Dates Offered:
Session 4A (8/3/26 – 8/7/26)
Tuition: $999 $799 with code EARLYBIRD_26
Product design provides creative solutions to everyday problems, from custom organizers to protective cases to tools that we won’t even think of for another generation or two. Learning to design and fabricate functional objects teaches problem-solving through constraints, all while giving creators the power to turn ideas into real, practical things they can hold, use, and improve through iteration.
Innovators will design and 3D print their own functional products, learning to identify needs, sketch solutions, and model designs using professional Computer-Aided Drafting software. Students develop technical design skills while discovering how to create objects that work and solve real problems. Their ProjectFUN creations become physical products they designed and fabricated, proving they can transform ideas from concept to tangible reality.
Projects in this workshop may include: Producing a custom dice roller or designing and fabricating a case/cover for a pair of headphones.
