About this Event
Learn it. Build it. Compete in it.
Real engineering. Really hands-on. Really theirs to keep.
Give your young engineer something screens can’t. 3D PENgineers is a guided engineering workshop on every Baltimore no-school day. Each builder takes on real design challenges: wire a circuit, build a bridge that holds weight, or 3D-pen a boat hull and race it. You drop off, and we handle the rest.
By the end of the season, your builder will have 3D-pen printed their own radio-controlled boat, and raced it.
What they’ll build
- Rings & Things (Wearable Art): Safety comes first. Builders learn shop safety, tool handling and 3D-pen control by designing rings, charms and other wearable pieces. Every builder starts here.
- Engineering Design Challenge: Teams build the tallest structure or the strongest bridge, using 3D pens and ingenuity.
- PartyBots™ (Robotics & Circuits): Wire real circuits and learn the Engineering Design Process hands-on: ideate, design, build, test, iterate.
- Augmented Reality: A first look at how markers, tracking and live overlays work.
- RC STEAM Boats (Capstone): Each builder 3D-pens every part of their own boat hull, fuses it together, waterproofs it, then fits it with electronics and a radio-control receiver.
- Race it for real: Team vs. team, building toward the S.T.E.A.M. Boats & Bots Gaming Challenges, coming Spring 2027 in Baltimore & the DMV.
Concepts are taught through the activity, never as a standalone lecture. Every builder follows the same sequence, and the depth grows with each session.
Who it’s for
Grades 6 and up. No experience with 3D pens, electronics or boats required. Just curiosity.
