Juice Works 3D

🥳End of summer camp season celebration for a much deserving team. 🤪 Thanks to Massanutten Resort go-karts for the fun. We had a blast!

During summer planning (last March) we committed to pressing down the gas pedal this summer, and ended up reaching 150 kid and adult innovators with our summer camps and design-thinking teacher training workshops - 3x more than last summer. That's a win!!! 🏁🏆

So proud of our achievement and are grateful for our incredible team, supporting parents, school districts, and universities.

We look forward to continuing to spread innovation education throughout our community this school year through our Fall Innovator Club. Learn more and pre-register at www.juiceworks3d.com/register

✌️It's Day 2 ✌️at Iron Level 3D printing camp for 9-12yr olds at Blue Ridge Community College - Virginia and they are doing some amazing work! Check out their day 1 innovation.

❤️ We are so grateful to our partners - Learning Creates Brighter Futures and their amazing team - for the opportunity to share innovation, applied design, and digital manufacturing with these young innovators. ❤️

💥Stay tuned for announcements about our Fall kid (ages 9-17) and adult (18+) innovation club classes starting in September: Mondays-Thursdays, daily sessions 2:30-4pm (homeschool), 4:30-6pm (after-school). 💥

While we're not in the juice bar business, our making classes in creative digital arts like 3d printing and game design do get your creative juices flowing so you can make some 3D cool!

Check out these awesome creations made by this week's amazing 3D printing and CNC milling students from our Iron level camp.

Meet Vivienne and Gus. 🥈They're pursuing their Silver level (Level 2) 3D printing qualification. 🥈That means, under Coach mentorship and supervision, they get to work on their own product design projects.

Well, we challenged them with a Gold level (Level 3) product design challenge which means, instead of designing and manufacturing their own product, they got to do it for a real-world client to help solve a problem they have! 🌟

Their client was Kiki Scott, Owner of Embracing Fire Designs who said she is frustrated with not being able to find a cell phone holder that can hold her phone in a specific way that other holders cant.

Well, Vivienne and Gus took those customer requirements and designed, modeled, and manufactured an amazing holder for Kiki!

We are so proud of Gus (14 yo) and Vivienne (10 yo) for taking the skills they learned in their Iron level (Level 1) classes and leveraging them to create this product AND for getting the reaction they did from Kiki for their work. They're also our first ever Silver level students! 🥳❤️🥈

If you're interested in joining Vivienne and Gus to learn these valuable creative digital skills so you can create your own products and solve problems for others too with applied design and digital fabrication, let us know! Fall classes begin soon.

Our students don't figure out how to do less, they actually try to figure out how to do (and make) more!

Why? Because what they learn at Juice Works 3D is art, not work.

Excited to be prepping for KidWind Project teacher training this week hosted by the Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Energy at JMU.

Grateful to be asked to run and workshops for teachers new to each so their students can level up their sustainable energy projects and prototypes.

💥We have our own local network in the space!🥳

A HUGE thanks to Emmett (son of Lora Barthmus Nalberczinski ), one of our talented (12yr old) wiz kids, for his kindness, generosity, and initiative, to plan (see his system diagram image below at left), install (see image below at right), test, and deploy it using his own donated Apple Airport Extreme devices. 💫💛

Thank you also to my son Noah (baseball hat) for assisting with hardware install and testing.🪛

We are so blessed to have the amazing people we do to help us better help our community to innovate. People, especially youth, amaze me with what they can achieve when you simply let them do it.

Which of these Learn-To-Make workshops sounds the coolest to you? Let us know in the comments!

1. Marbled fans
2. Web shooters
3. LARP
4. Keychains
5. Yarn-Based lamps
6. Compliant Mechanisms

Signage!!! Now everyone will be able to finally find us here at 1157 S. High St.!

So grateful to finally have a sign for our community to be able to see what an incredible group we have under one roof here at the Manufactory Collective.

A special thank you to our talented Jacob Marshall for creating our street worthy artwork, Kiki Scott at Embracing Fire Designs for the gorgeous vinyl work, and Nate Irwin for skillfully re-purposing the original sign and install.
