Design & 3D Print Your Own Creations

Kids turn their ideas into real objects these school holidays! In this hands-on workshop with OpenTech Designs, they'll design their own creation in Tinkercad, such as a name keychain, phone stand or desk organiser, and then have it 3D printed to take home. Each workshop stands alone, so kids can come to one, two or all three.
