The Winners' Camp — STEM & AI Program
Wenty Ford Sports Foundation, in partnership with Happy Human · Nassau, Bahamas
Program Overview
As part of the Wenty Ford Sports Foundation's Winners' Camp, Happy Human delivered a STEM & AI track for 40 campers — introducing the fundamentals of computer-aided problem solving and the full design-to-manufacturing workflow using 3D printing.
Each session paired a short concept block with a long hands-on block: students spent most of their time making, not listening, with AI used as a coaching tool. Two builds anchored the program — a personalized name tag keychain and a fidget clicker — bridged by a structural analysis session that connected print orientation and supports to real hurricane-resilience hardware in The Bahamas.

What Students Built & Learned
Coding Foundations
Computational thinking and pattern recognition through Lightbot challenges, plus how software actually gets built.
CAD & 3D Printing
Two Tinkercad builds printed in PLA: a name tag keychain (shape combination, alignment, text on solids) and a fidget clicker (moving parts, clearance, tolerance).
Structural Analysis
Load paths, the 45° overhang rule, layer direction, and supports — framed around what you could print to hold a building together after a storm.
Game Design & AI
Game design concepts and asset creation in Canva, with AI used throughout as a coaching tool when students got stuck.
Two-Day Schedule
Day 1 — Foundations
Coding concepts, CAD orientation, and the first printed object.
9:00–9:15
Coding introduction
What code is, why we code, and how software gets built.
9:15–10:00
Coding exploration (Lightbot)
Guided challenges in computational thinking and pattern recognition.
10:00–11:00
CAD & 3D printing introduction
What 3D printing is, real-world applications, and a Tinkercad orientation.
11:00–12:00
Tinkercad basics — Project 1
Interface walkthrough and basic shapes; build the personalized name tag keychain.
Day 2 — Structure, Design & Game Development
A second build, structural analysis, and the move into game design.
9:00–9:15
Recap & print reveal
Hand back Day 1 keychains, inspect print quality together, set goals.
9:15–10:00
Tinkercad modelling — Project 2
Guided build of the fidget clicker, with AI assistance when students get stuck.
10:00–10:45
Structural analysis & supports
Load paths, overhangs, layer direction — applied to hurricane-resilience hardware.
10:45–11:00
Foundations of coding
The academic coding process and an introduction to game design concepts.
11:00–12:00
Game design exploration
Students create game assets in Canva for a shared game-graphics library.
