Nuts and Bolts Academy
Welcome to the Nuts and Bolts Academy
The Nuts and Bolts Academy provides opportunities for students at multiple grade levels to engage in fun, educational experiences. Our camps expose students to manufacturing and engineering through innovative, hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) activities.
BizWhiz Academy
Explore Tri-C’s Manufacturing Center of Excellence, which includes a state-of-the-art, fully-equipped fab lab. Learn how to brainstorm ideas and make them a reality during lunch-and-learn sessions with professionals who have created their own inventions. Learn about manufacturing from product design and development to product manufacture. In addition, use 2D and 3D modeling software to design, laser and 3D print for product design and development. All of the products you develop and manufacture are yours to keep. This camp is two weeks.
Lunch will be provided. This camp is partially grant-funded through the Department of Labor, ONR.
