Discover 3D Printing w/ Makers Empire Applied technology & design workshop for primary students! Enquire Now Explore your students’ creativity & problem-solving skills in a 21st-century design environment! 3D printing and design thinking challenges your students to develop skills in problem-solving and critical reasoning. We’ve partnered with Makers Empire, creators of the world’s easiest to use 3D design and printing software, specifically designed for primary and middle school students. These school incursion workshops are fully aligned to the Australian Curriculum: Technologies and also focus on developing students’ collaborative and spatial skills whilst creating awareness of future technologies in a fun environment. Throughout the workshop your students will see a 3D printer in action and learn how to create strong 3D structures using polymer printing. Your students will spend time learning to create awesome creations that will then be printed by the Makers Empire team and sent through to your school!
