3 Unique Technology and Coding Courses in Our Summer Academic Programs

Here at Summer Discovery, we have created a unique opportunity for students to explore the highly popular field of technology and coding. Our summer academic programs offer different courses in AI, data security, and everything in between to help students discover this exciting industry with hands-on experience.

With over 100,000 alumni, Summer Discovery continues to update our programs to reflect the trends in academic programs and cater to students’ pressing interests. Our Technology and Coding programs, just as all other courses we offer, foster EQ and IQ, which helps equip students with valuable academic and life skills. Dive into these 3 Technology & Coding courses available at Summer Discovery.

3D Design & Printing Course

With 3D Design & Printing, high school students are able to explore the intriguing intersection of technology and creative design. As a hands-on course, students will get involved with individual and group projects, which in turn helps them refine their communication and collaboration skills. In this course specifically, students can expect to explore circuit and design prototyping, coding and physical computing, modeling, and design software, 3D printing and scanning, fabrication, laser cutting, and etching.

Any student who loves thinking about global issues and aspires to solve the world’s challenging problems through 3D printing innovations will thrive in this course, offered at UCLA. They will benefit from the campus’s new Maker Space Labs, where they will prototype, refine, and bring their ideas to life. And with a free 3-year license of Fusion 360, a 3D modeling program that comes with the course, students ensure their ability to continue learning beyond their summer course.
