UW Youth & Teen Programs: 3D Design & CAD Modeling
Hands-on camp introducing 3D design and CAD modeling software for creating virtual objects and prototypes.
▌ Editor's read The 3D Design & CAD Modeling camp is a day program offered by the University of Washington's Youth & Teen Programs. The website indicates that instructors are UW students, faculty, or staff, and all staff undergo background checks. The program focuses on teaching students to use industry-standard software like Fusion 360 to create 3D models. While specific Google reviews for this particular camp are not readily available, the University of Washington Summer Youth Programs generally hold a high reputation. The camp is not ACA accredited, which is common for university-run specialized programs. The program is designed for students entering grades 7-10, providing a structured learning environment in a university setting. Social media handles for the broader UW Summer Youth Programs are @uwsummercamps on Instagram and UWSummerYouthPrograms on Facebook.
Who thrives here Ages 12–16
UW Youth & Teen Programs: 3D Design & CAD Modeling serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in stem, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
