Can you guess what this 3D print will be? Keep watching! 👀

This 3D-printed project took 1 hour and 7 minutes to print — but, you can watch the whole thing happen in just 55 seconds.

And….. it’s a yellow boat!

Want to make something of your own? Come to Contraption Club and experiment with 3D printing, technology, and more! (See link in comment.)

This is what we love about Summer Side Quests — teens took the challenge and made it their own!

Can you spot our favorite little extras on this card? 👀

8!
Hand-drawn smiley faces
Artwork on every sign (cabin, fish, tubing, uneven bars, balance beam, sun)
Even adding her own signs

But our favorite might be the simplest one — "Side questing with friends" — written on an extra, self-drawn sign.

Because summer is about more than checking things off a list. It's about the things you do, the places you go, and the people you experience them with.
