DIG 2109 (Digital Imaging Fundamentals) classes visited the
lab to learn about 3D printing. They were learning Adobe
Illustrator's 3D extruded visuals that week. More and more classes
are signing up!
Game Development Workshops
Hmmm … we’ve been offering a lot of educational opportunities, so I wonder if we should brand it?
“The trick is not in knowing the single solution. It’s having lots of different options and solutions to turn to.”
We also show real world examples. Circuits are in everything! 3D design anything! Work with robots.

Workshops filled very quickly, so we had to create
3 different sessions: 2 for homeschoolers and the
other for the public.
Maker Boot Camp workshops• Video Game Design (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours)• 3D Design/Printing (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours)• Fun With Electronics/Circuitry (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours)• Introduction to Robotics (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours)• Virtual Reality (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours)• Video Editing for Film (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours)
Game Development Essentials:
After the gaming lecture, the kids built a video game!
Introducing
Design/Printing
http://www.slideshare.net/chadmairn/introducing-3d-design-and-printing-50569271
https://form.jotform.com/53475018527155
Kids could submit 3D designs to be printed at the workshop. It was very popular, so I had to create a web form to keep up
with the demand!
3D Printing Process
1. Design an object via computer aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software. Not design-oriented? Try Shapeways, Sculpteo or Thingiverse.
2. The software will export the object as an .STL file ("stereolithography" or "Standard Tessellation Language"), which will then be built (printed) layer-by-layer (i.e., Additive Manufacturing).
3. Load the .STL file into the printer. (e.g., via Repetier). 4. Slice (i.e., create layers for the object). Note: Repetier integrates Slic3r
into the software. 5. 3D printing materials vary. We use PLA (Polylactic acid) filament. Visit
http://reprap.org/wiki/PLA for more information.

You can download your Tinkercad design into Minecraft, 3D print it, upload it to Thingiverse, or
order a print.

Reality - the state or quality of being
real.

Virtual Reality is a realistic simulation of an environment, including 3D
graphics, by a computer system using interactive software and hardware.

Sample interview questions for documentary film
How did you get involved with the Maker Boot Camp? What makes technology exciting? What was your favorite technology to explore at the MBC (Chad's question from previous email)? What would you like to learn more about? (Ditto)
Are video games art, are developers artists? Tell us about the differences between teaching this subject at the college level and at MBC. Did you ever imagine that video games you played as a kid would be played by kids in 2015? What makes a video game a classic? What cabinet or early console title has not gotten the recognition it deserves?

Sample interview questions for documentary film
What do you hope that parents and kids took away from your sessions on video games? How is MBC different from working with the library's other youth programs? Has the MBC changed the way you look at technology? Was there a common theme in the kid's MBC journals? What do you hope that parents and kids got out of MBC?
What makes someone a "maker?" Talk about the difference between working with college students, and the kids at MBC. What was your favorite session? Are there any new additions to the lab that you'd like to show us? What are you hoping to do in the Innovation Lab in the future?
