About this adventure

For November's STEM Saturday at HD SOUTH, Gilbert Classical Academy AP teacher Karen Maas brings her STEM students to run a hands-on tech session for visitors. Kids try 3D printing with both 3D pens and printers, design objects in the free CAD program Tinkercad, and turn pieces of fruit into game controllers and keyboards with Makey Makey circuit boards, among other stations. Having high-school students as guides makes the tech approachable for elementary and middle-school kids who have never used CAD or a 3D printer. The session lasts about 90 minutes in the museum in downtown Gilbert and is free, but registration is required and closes at noon on the Friday before.
