Campers learn the engineering and design process, how to use professional software, use a 3-D printer, and how to assemble and solder electrical components, culminating in the production of a solar-powered mobile phone charger. The first-time camp is expected to become a regular feature in the Averitt Center's camp line-up.
A different kind of summer camp this week using a blooming technology, brought a new twist to Statesboro summers. The first “Charge Your Life” camp, hosted by the Averitt Center for the Arts, showed Statesboro youth the intricacies and benefits of 3D design and printing. Throughout this week, the 12 campers are learning how to develop an idea beginning with a concept into an actual product, camp instructor Tim Cone said.
