Engaging STEM Summer Activities for Kids: Exploring the World of 3D Printing

stem activitiesSummer is the perfect time to encourage children to explore their curiosity and engage in hands-on learning experiences. With STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education gaining momentum, providing kids with exciting opportunities that nurture their curiosity in these fields is essential. One such activity that combines innovation and creativity is 3D printing. In this article, we will explore the world of 3D printing and suggest some STEM summer activities to help children develop valuable skills while having a blast.

Introduction to 3D Printing

Before diving into the activities, let’s briefly understand what 3D printing is all about. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, creates three-dimensional objects by layering materials based on a digital design. It allows children to transform their ideas into tangible things, fostering problem-solving skills, spatial reasoning, and design thinking.

Inspiration and Challenges

Even though July is a synonym for holiday, you may want to entertain your kids in an educational and fun way, pushing them to develop their imagination and creative skills. That’s why we propose, this month, to design and 3D print a phone holder using SOLIDWORKS Apps for Kids.

Here is a video that shows you how:

Do you want to see your students’ or your kids’ designs on SOLIDWORKS Education Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram? Share their A4K creation on social media, mentioning #PhoneHolder AND #swa4k, and we might feature them on our channels!
