What’s Included

Maker Studio Programs

3D Printing & 3D Design

The activity will focus on students learning about and observing the 3d printing process from design to completion. Students will learn how a 3d printer manipulates its materials to make its finished product. Students will have the opportunity to see complex 3d models, then create and print their own designs. Each student will go home with a 3d printed object they created.

ArtBots

Students will make a robot able to create art by combining various electronic components with art materials. In this activity students will gain an understanding of basic electrical circuits and the functionality of different types of motors. Students will design and create robots that can draw patterns, then alter their robot’s design to change and guide the patterns that are drawn. They will use logic and problem solving skills in the design and implementation of their robots. Students can take home their robotic art at the end of the class.

For Groups

We designed this program as a group booking and requires a minimum of 15 participants.
