Description: Ready to ride something you built yourself? In this action-packed camp, students will design and create their own custom light-up skateboard deck—combining woodworking, laser cutting, and electronics into one epic build.
Start by shaping and sanding your board in the woodshop, then add custom flair using a laser cutter to engrave graphics or cut design elements. Next, bring the glow! You’ll wire up NeoPixel LEDs and program a microcontroller to create eye-catching light patterns that respond and shine.
Along the way, you’ll learn safe tool use, creative design techniques, and foundational coding skills—earning badges for each tool and skill mastered. Throughout the week we will walk to the Coeur d'Alene skate park and test your designs! By the end of camp, you won’t just roll out with a one-of-a-kind illuminated skateboard—you’ll leave with serious maker confidence and tech know-how.
Build it bold. Ride it bright. Let’s light up the skate park!
