Vermont Students Pick Up Free Credits at VTSU 3D Technology Camp

RANDOLPH, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermont State University is piloting a new 3D technology certificate program through a free summer camp for high schoolers.

Wes Barlow is preparing to scale a 16-foot sculpture. He and his seven classmates from all over Vermont are out in the field to make a 3D model of “Whale Dance” by Randolph artist Jim Sardonis.

“For me, personally, getting out to these awesome places and scanning these super cool artifacts is really gratifying. It’s super fun to get out there and do things,” Barlow said.

The Peacham student and his classmates are part of Vermont State University’s Youth Camps. The 3D Technology Camp includes three, two-week residential programs at the Randolph Center campus where students will complete a semester’s worth of work, earning up to nine college credits.
