PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES

Experience hands-on STEM, real projects, and a welcoming community where you can learn, create, and make a difference alongside passionate peers.

3D Printing Program:

Our 3D printing classes form the foundation of TENAR’s educational offerings.

These courses are structured across two semesters per year, allowing students to progressively build skills in:
--3D modeling and design
--Understanding additive manufacturing
--Real-world applications of 3D printing
--Problem-solving through iterative design

Students are not just taught how to use printers, they learn how to think like engineers.
