The Brief Twenty-nine East Bay middle school students in grades 6–8 have spent the last two weeks learning about business planning and digital manufacturing at the FabLab SparkForce Summer Camp.
The experience allowed each student to design their own mobile truck concept and laser-cut their own 3D-designed key chains.
Start-up businesses are taking over Kennedy High School on Thursday as students showcased the businesses they designed, budgeted and manufactured for their last day of the FabLab SparkForce Summer Camp in Richmond.
An eighth grader named Philip described to KTVU what his mobile truck business does.
With this summer camp, students are taken on field trips with instructors to places such as the Rosie the Riveter Museum and other maritime sites, opening the doors to a wide range of careers.
