First Annual Jr. QCAM Summer Camp @ DACC
This summer, four students from Lynn Middle School participated in the Doña Ana Community College (DACC) Quality Control in Additive Manufacturing (QCAM) Camp, held June 27th through June 30th, at the DACC Workforce Center.
The camp, hosted by the DACC Automation and Manufacturing Program and co-sponsored by the QCAM Consortium, provided the participating students with hands-on opportunities to learn about computer-aided drafting (CAD), solid modeling, 3D printing, and related career pathways and programs of study. Students learned to create 3D CAD models, prepare those models for 3D printing, different 3D printing processes, and post-processing requirements for 3D printed parts. The students also assembled model rocket kits utilizing 3D printed parts.

Participating students received a certificate of completion, a DACC backpack with school supplies, a DACC flash drive, 3D printed parts, and they each kept the rocket they assembled. The students’ teacher, Mr. Charles Gallegos, was provided with engines so the students could launch their rockets when public school resumes.
