Design & 3D Print Your Own Creations
A Hands-On STEM Workshop Series for Young Creators Aged 9–14
Turn imagination into something you can hold!
In this fun, hands-on three-part workshop series, students will learn how to design their own 3D creation using Tinkercad — a beginner-friendly digital design tool — and see how their idea can be turned into a real 3D-printed object.
Led by Hardik Trivedi from OpenTech Designs, this workshop is perfect for curious young minds who enjoy creating, experimenting, solving problems, or exploring how technology works.
Across three sessions, students will learn the basics of 3D modelling, develop and refine their own design, and receive a 3D-printed version of their creation to take home.
No previous 3D design experience is needed — just bring your imagination!
