Introducing our Pilot Spring Camp 2017

At Maker Toolset’s Pilot Spring Camp 2017 students will build  21st Century skills through design challenges using digital fabrication, physical computing, coding and robotics.

Use Autodesk 360 to design a game and fabricate it on a CNC machine. Advanced options include electronics, sensors or robotics, for added game interactivity.
