CAMPDIRECTORHANDBOOKCamp Directors, Staff, and Instructors—The following information will be helpful in planning yoursummer manufacturing camp. Please read through the materials carefully. Contact the NBT Foundation officeat foundation@fmanet.org or (888) 394-4362 with any questions.Camp Objectives, Learning Activities,and Desired Outcomes: To introduce students to the world of manufacturingthrough hands-on projects made in real “shop” facilities,presentations by industry professionals regarding careersand training, and site visits to manufacturing facilities. To introduce students to basic entrepreneurial conceptsand skills.Approximately 80% of contact time should be spent onmanufacturing skills, process, projects, and facility tourswhile 20% of contact time should be spent on introductionof entrepreneurial concepts and skills. Some of theentrepreneurial content can effectively be delivered by guestpresenters during plant tours or at the camp location, as wellas during evaluations of the projects built by students. Severalentrepreneurship lessons contained in these materials havebeen designed as homework so students can get their parentsand family involved.Expected learning activities:1. Students receive a camp safety manual provided by NBT,they are guided through a basic shop safety lesson, andthey learn how to practice appropriate shop safety.2. Students learn basic computerized product design usingCAD software (student licenses of SolidWorks will beprovided by NBT if requested by the camp).3. Students manufacture a product—start to finish—using manufacturing equipment, hand tools, and otherappropriate aids.4. Students explore and gain a basic understanding of thechallenge of an inventor/entrepreneur in taking aproduct from idea to business. Lessons are provided inthe curriculum on topics such as new product creation,pricing, marketing/advertising, etc.5. Students learn about the types of manufacturing jobsavailable in the local community through tours of localmanufacturing companies, presentations and mentoringby local manufacturing professionals, and otherappropriate activities.Preparation and Responsibilities Before,During, and After Camp:Prior to camp: The staff members who will teach the camp need todetermine an appropriate project for the campers tomake. A list of product ideas successfully completed inprevious camps is provided as an appendix. The school that is offering the camp is responsiblefor marketing to their local community and registeringthe students for the camp. NBT will provide customizedmarketing materials and resources for each camplocation. In addition, camps will be posted on the NBTwebsite and promoted through NBT media channels. Camp staff will arrange to purchase or obtain donatedmaterials needed to complete the manufacturing project. If the camp does not already have the capacity to allowstudents to work with CAD software, NBT will providestudent-version SolidWorks CAD design softwarelicenses in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of thecamp. These 365-day licenses are donated by SolidWorksthrough its sponsorship with Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs.Donated software can be installed on students’ personalcomputers only. Schools that have purchased SolidWorksthrough a reseller can download the trial student versionsoftware for use during the NBT camp. On the marketingform, camps must notify NBT if they wish to receive theSolidWorks licenses and provide the number of participants. Camp staff prepares shop equipment, hand tools, andother elements of the work area to facilitate smooth andefficient movement by students from one phase toanother of the product manufacturing process. Camp staff arranges visits to local manufacturers,confirms guest speakers, etc. Camp staff requests financial support from localmanufacturers, community organizations, economicdevelopment groups, and other local agencies andbusinesses which can supplement the grant provided byNBT and the tuition collected from students.6. Students learn about the teamwork required in aneffective manufacturing work environment.7. Students gain an understanding of the kinds of academicand technical training they will need (in high school andbeyond) to prepare themselves for 21st centurymanufacturing careers. 2017 Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs , the Foundation of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International 1

During the camp: On or before the first day of camp, staff must obtainsigned photo release forms for each participantfrom parents/guardians (provided in appendix). On the first day of camp, participants will take thepre-camp survey online. Staff arranges to document camp activities inphotos which will be shared with NBT forinclusion on the foundation’s website, in magazinespublished by FMA, through NBT’s social media, andin promotional and fundraising materials producedby NBT. Tips for taking great photos and video areprovided in the appendix. Staff should also consider recording some of the campactivities to create a promotional video that can beshared on the college’s Facebook page, the NBTFacebook page, and/or YouTube channel. Videos canalso be great tools for recruiting students into a campin the future. Examples of camp videos can be foundat www.nbtfoundation.org/camps.Tip: Many schools’ communications department offervideography courses and students from these classesare always looking for opportunities to create projectsfor a portfolio. These are often great videographersand they might take on a project like this for little orno charge. On the last day of camp, participants will take thepost-camp survey online.After camp has ended (within 30 days of thefinal day of camp): The director or staff will complete the onlineevaluation survey and submit a complete financialreport in order to receive the second grant payment. Provide contact information for local supporters,manufacturers, entrepreneurs, speakers, tourlocations, and donors.

PHOTO TIPS AND FORMATSSOME TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS:1. Move in close – don’t be afraid to get close to take a picture. Remember zoom only goes so far before the picturebecomes blurry.2. Watch the light – be conscious of where light is falling on your subject. Try to avoid harsh light that will distortyour photo don’t be afraid to move yourself or the subject to get better lighting.3. Be conscious of what is in the background – be aware of what is in the background that could becomedistracting or make it appear as though things are “growing” from your subject. Whenever possible try to get aplain background.4. Become a picture director – don’t be afraid to set up a shot or ask the kids to pose for a photo, be creative! Alsoremember to position the shot to get as many faces as possible—not backs of heads.5. Take some vertical photos – switch it up a bit and see what new angles you can get.6. Remember the following when submitting photos: Photos should originate from a 300dpi file (set camera on middle to high quality/resolution setting). JPG and/or TIFF files are preferred and BMP files are acceptable. Unacceptable files include GIFsand photos embedded in a Word document. Please do not resample images to be lower than 300dpi.SOME TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN TAKING VIDEOS:1. Avoid zooming in and out too much – Use the zoom in and out feature sparingly. A slow, well-controlled zoomis much more professional looking than a quick zoom. In between scenes you can move the camera closer orfurther away instead of zooming.2. Steady the camera – Use a tripod if possible. Alternatively, you can brace yourself against something like a wall,or stoop down on your knee while shooting.3. Lighting - Nothing spoils a video shoot as much as poor lighting. Turn on lights or move near a window ifpossible. One important tip is to shoot video with the light source behind you, shining on the subject.4. Sound - Use an external microphone if possible. When using the camera’s mic, get in closer so you won’t pickup as much background noise. Record some extra footage describing what you are filming. It could be used tosubstitute for bad audio on a good clip.5. Where are you? - Look for a landmark, a company sign, or even a name on a T-shirt that tells the audience whereyou are. This makes the whole video more interesting.6. Change your perspective - Don’t limit your shots to one angle only. Record your subject from different angles.Capture facial expressions.7. When submitting video to NBT please be aware of the following: Videos submitted as a Flash .flv format, must be the correct size: 360 x 240px or 360 x 270px. Videos submitted as one of these file types: .avi, .dv, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, or .wmv will be converted to the Flash.flv format and resized to 360 x 240px or 360 x 270px. Please also provide a title and brief description of the video.SUBMIT/UPLOAD PHOTOS AND VIDEO FILES VIA NBT’S FILE SHARING SITE AS OUTLINED BELOW:1.
