Homeschool Makertime (12–16 yrs) — 3D Design & Printing
📅 Tuesday, 21 July 2026 — 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
What is it?
A design and technology workshop for homeschoolers aged 12–16, focused on 3D design and printing.
Who is it for?
Teens aged 12–16 who are curious about design, technology or engineering, and families wanting to explore modern STEM skills.
Beginner friendly?
Yes, as long as teens are comfortable using computers and following instructions.
What do children usually do?
Teens learn how to create digital 3D models and then see those designs become physical objects through 3D printing. They work through the tools, plan a design and make practical decisions about how it will print.
What should parents expect?
Expect a more independent workshop where teens take ownership of their projects. Facilitators provide guidance, but participants are encouraged to think, experiment and troubleshoot. Parents can stay nearby or step out for part of the session.
