Build Camp 3D Printing for Adults is coming to a neighborhood near you.
 

Build Camp is an amazing opportunity for youth to learn new skills, gain confidence, and thrive in a world where only talent is rewarded. Now we are adding an opportunity for adults  to lget in on the action. 
We decided to open these classes for local communities throughout the intermountain west. We will bring the class to your local communities with sufficient local support. Please send an email if you would like to organize and host an event near you. We prefer to hold classes in community centers, library meeting rooms, churches, or even homes. (Low or no cost venues)

Event organizers are rewarded with a free printer once they enroll sufficient participants to cover certain hard costs and minimum class attendance. Become an event host here. 



Upcoming classes:
Please note that classes must reach minimum attendance and fees must be paid a minimum of 3 weeks in advance. Fees will be refunded if class is canceled. Dates may change to better accommodate attendants.

January 21, 28 American Fork, Utah. Min. Attendance: 7
Signup deadline January 3rd. 2017.

March 10,11 Burley Idaho. min attendance: 9
Signup deadline February 17, 2017






Get your own 3D Printer.
Learn how to use it.
Learn to build cool things.
Gain valuable experience for your resume.




You will have expert instruction to put the printer together from a box of parts. That means you will gain a fundamental understanding of how it works, and how to make it better if you ever choose to do so.

Your build day is the day listed on the event. We will run from 8:30 AM to about 4:00 PM. any construction that doesn't get completed on this day should be finished at home before the next meet up. (Some local events are held on Saturdays a week apart, other events are crammed into 2 consecutive days due to travel considerations.)
With your printer 100% assembled you are ready for a crash course in 3D printing software. configure your printer and get all your questions answered, and develop your skills.






You will also be instructed on how to install software on your computer, set up the printer, use the software to prepare a model for printing, and finally print out a plastic part suitable for building hobby parts, machines, and artistic sculpture.

You will need to bring your own computer. We prefer Windows or Linux. But the software we recommend also works on Mac.

The course will run over 2 days. Please help us spread the word and share this event on your media of choice.





For just $499 ($299 for the printer, $200 tuition) you will take home your own hand built 3D printer. that is a savings of over $325 compared to similar courses like this one: here. Add additional family members for just $99 each.

Participants should come prepared with a 6" calipers such as this caliper or this one at Harbor Freight  which often goes on sale for about $10. watch the ads for coupons.

Final count down to Build Camp 2016

Build Camp 2016 Events

Build Camp is wrapping up our 2016 season. We have made a few changes to our schedule for Build Camp Jr, and 3D printing. See below.
 We still have a few slots available in our upcoming Build Camp Jr. on July 29th and our 3D printing camp. We can still order printer kits but they may not arrive before the camp, so you might have to build it at home from the instructions.
The Jr camp on July 29th will be a fun camp and we will be busily involved in building AquaBots.





Click on titles for more information. All camps are held in Uintah city, south end of Ogden.

Build Camp Jr. May 21st and July 29th 2016 A one day camp specifically for children 5-9 years old. Wood toys, gadgets, and science projects. This year we will build Water Powered Robots. Fun projects for young kids. Reg $139 for child/parent teams and $79 for each additional child.
ONLY 5 SLOTS LEFT




3D Printing and CNC Machine. August 11-13
Everyone knows what a 3D printer is, but how hard are they to use? What can you do with them? We will use one to build parts for other projects like our CNC machine and our robots. A CNC machine uses a computer to control a cutter which can cut almost any shape imaginable in wood, metal, and plastic. The problem is they can cost upwards of $500,000. we will build a CNC controlled Laser to engrave and cut parts for future projects.

Reg $239 per child, $189 Per parent or $1 when you add your own printer kit . Build and take home your own 3D printer for an extra $399 $299. Must prepay by June 1st 2016.

Do you have a 3D printer yet?

Build Camp 2016 Events

Do you have a 3D printer yet? If you did would you know how to use it? One of the amazing projects we will be doing this year is building a 3D printer. I'm sure you have heard of them but if not: a 3D printer is a cool little device that can take a digital 3D model from a computer program and literally print the digital model into a physical part. they are fascinating to watch and open a whole new world of possibilities for Makers, tinkers, engineers, and DIYers. For example the green parts in the picture of the Aquabot 1.0 below are 3d printed. it was much easier to make the complicated parts in a digital format and then print them for use on the robot. All this and more will be covered in our July 14-16 Build Camp. 
You and your family will be exposed to 3D printing, CNC, Laser cutting and more in this high tech camp. 
Important note: We have negotiated with our contacts and suppliers to provide you with an even better opportunity. for just $299 more you can take home your own 3D printer made by you. To further sweeten the deal we will also discount parents camp fees to $1. yes, you read right. only $1. To recap. 1 child admission $239
1 3D printer kit which we will help you build and set up, $299 (save $100)
1 Parent admission $1. (Save $188)
Guess what. Most places won't even sell you a 3D printer for $539. This is a great deal and $288 less than our regular price.

We also have our robotics camp where you will bring home your own robotic arm, High Voltage camp where you will help build a cool Tesla Coil, And if high tech is not your thing then come to Blacksmith camp. This is a study from where it all began. Blacksmiths were the original engineers and inventors.  We also have 2 up-coming single day camps for younger children (5-9) where we will build the Aquabot 2.0, a water powered robot.
Either choice you make do it now, because as we get closer to summer all our openings will fill up and you might just get Beaten out (ok, it's a bad blacksmith joke).

Learn the basics of setting up a forge, heating metal and pounding it into something amazing. Also build tools with a mixture of ancient and modern technology.  Reg $239 per child, $189 per adult.


Arduino Robotics. July 7 - July 9 Arduino is a mini micro controller (computer processor) that allows you to control inputs and outputs. Want a sensor to automatically water your plants? It can do it. How about a doorbell that tells solicitors to go away? We are going to use it to build a robot arm that can be programmed to play a xylophone or stack cups or assemble legos or anything else you can think of.

Each child will come home with his or her own Arduino controller, robotic arm, and a box of accessories valued over $200.

Build Camp TECHNOLOGY

Welcome to Build Camp 2016


We are excited to present this years Build Camps. 

The U.S. Department of Education projects that that between 2010 and 2020 STEM jobs will increase up to 62 percent!
That means in the immediate future THOUSANDS of jobs will be available for skilled technically savvy people. Which translates to significantly higher wages for skilled people.

The best engineers start when they are young.

We know that most young people are seldom if ever able to engage in real hands-on projects and apply their creativity to serious technical projects. Most schools don't even offer shop classes anymore. The result is a dearth of people skilled sufficiently to create tomorrows lunar mining space station, self driving cars, adaptable buildings, National defense, and automated food production and manufacturing.

In recent years this has become a serious problem which thousands of companies across the country face; not enough skilled tradesmen and engineers. We believe that the best engineers began their education not in college, but as children tinkering in their garages, basements, and even on the kitchen floor.

At Build Camp children and youth have the unique opportunity to get their hands on tools, receive expert instruction, and solve real world technical and mathematics problems to create something amazing. Adults are also welcome to join in the fun; we especially like to have youth/parent teams.


At Build Camp kids discover their passion for creating, designing, and inventing. We inspire kids to recognize their talents and develop their skills. We encourage every kid to come to Build Camp and set themselves on track for a lifetime of the most fulfilling hobbies, occupations and careers available.
Please direct questions to Josh Chapman at 801-792-2394 or BuildingBigDreams@gmail.com.
All camps are held at the Chapman home and shop

Build Camp Grants

An exciting opportunity for Build Camp fans.

Welcome to Build Camp 2016! Please read this post as it contains important and valuable information.
We are planning some very exciting programs this year for build camp including robotics, 3D printing and CAD, blacksmithing, building a pottery wheel, dune buggy, musical Tesla Coil, and a pine wood derby.

The best part is we found an amazing grant to fund your Build Camp experience. 

We are very excited to announce a fantastic opportunity for everyone planning to attend Build Camp this year.

The State of Utah has allocated funds to support youth and children (K-12) in their desires to learn about STEM subjects (Stem stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). What that means to you is an AWESOME opportunity to come to build camp with little to no money from your own pocket.

BUT YOU MUST ACT FAST! No Really, the deadline for grant applications expires one week from today on January 29, 2016 at midnight.


Build Camp fees for 2016 will run between $179 and $399 depending on the camps you choose to attend.
The STEM grant will pay up to $500 toward your camp fees. This means you could attend Build Camp for free!

I just got finished talking to the administrator of the STEM Grant and they are very excited to provide opportunities for you and your kids to come to Build Camp. 

Additional information and application links can be found here: http://stem.utah.gov/for-students/grants/


A brief list of upcoming Build Camp dates:


Pinewood Derby Camp. March 5th 2016
 (with a possible follow up on March 12.) 
Build Camp Jr. May 21st and July 30th 2016 (children 5-10 years old.) 
Build Camp Blacksmith. June 24-25 2016 
Build Camp Robotics. July 7 - July 9 
CNC/ 3D printing. July 14-16 
Musical Tesla Coil. August 11-13 
for more information on Build Camp dates please see: Build Camp 2016 Preview

Here are some important notes to consider when applying for the grant:
  • Students are required to complete the online application form this week. The STEM action center wants kids to fill out the applications themselves and really show their interest in Build Camp. They want to know why they think Build Camp will provide them with an amazing opportunity to grow in their abilities, demonstrate an understanding of STEM subjects, and strengthen their STEM knowledge. If you are not sure how to inspire your child, have them call me, Josh Chapman 801-792-2394 for a 1 on 1 conversation and I will see what I can do.
  • Applications are competitive meaning each application will be evaluated based on grade level/age for persuasive writing, excitement of student, and desire to participate. They will also decide if it looks like a parent did all the work for the student. In other words, help them but don't do it for them.  The goal is for students to take part in the application process as much as possible. The STEM Action Center recognizes that some students may need assistance. However, the application should be the student’s responsibility. You have nothing to loose by applying. You will be able to choose which camp you want to attend after the grant is awarded.
