• *ALERT: EXCELLENT FOR COLLEGE APPS**

This class can be free! It's easy - just register for any 2 or more summer classes where the combined cost exceeds the fee for this course.
Why are we offering this? Because PVNet is a non-profit and we want students to receive a better education and make the world a better place for animals.
This class includes 2 workshops to learn how to design parts using a 3D design program. Also students will meet with a veterinarian during a class meeting. Ask questions, get advice, and show off your ideas!
Millions of people and animals require use of a wheelchair of some type. This class brings together many exciting opportunities to learn, design, and create.
There is something for everyone in this class.

• Veterinary medicine (related to wheelchairs for dogs)
• Engineering
• Art & Ergonomics
• Animal rehabilitation (rear paralyzed dog)
• Healthcare (humans use wheelchairs)
• CAD design
• 3D printing
• Workshop fabrication processes (hands on)

Students will receive input and advice from professionals. A medical grade professionally made dog wheel chair will serve as the basis for their learning and design experience.
Real World Experience ================ Working alone, collaborating with a partner, or working as a team (important skills to learn), students will prototype and refine their ideas to build and bring their final design to life and see it used by a paralyzed dog in need!
This will be a fantastic project to include in your college application and resume.
BENEFITS: Too many to list ===================
