ENGINEERING, DESIGN & FABRICATION guide

We've got some helpful information to share with you this month but before I get to that, I want to let you know that Amtek is hosting a crash course on 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining in Suffolk, VA on August 2. Find all the details here.

 

Read on to learn more about our favorite STEM summer camps, a makeathon MakerBot is hosting in a couple weeks, and STEM lessons we've learned in our own backyard -- from the C&O Canal.

 

We also answer the tough question: "Will $1,000 get educators a 3D printer worthy of the classroom?"

 

As usual, we'll be taking a break from our newsletters for the summer. Enjoy the sunshine and we'll be back in touch in the Fall!
