3D Printing Workshop 4 Girls
While women make up a larger portion of STEM workers overall (around 34%), their representation is considerably lower in certain areas such as Engineering and Computer Science, where they make up roughly 20% of college majors. This workshop isn't just about learning a cool tool, it's about unlocking your potential as a creator, problem-solver, and future leader in technology. No prior experience needed!
Are you ready to turn your ideas into physical reality? Join us for this exciting, hands-on 2-day workshop where code, art, and technology meet! Whether you are re curious about engineering, love design, or just want to learn how to create your own custom objects from scratch, this workshop will give you the skills, confidence, and tools to innovate.
What Will You Learn & Do In This Workshop?
Master Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Learn industry-standard 3D modeling software used by real engineers and product designers.
Bring Ideas to Life: Watch your digital designs print layer-by-layer on state-of-the-art 3D printers.
Solve Real-World Challenges: Work in team design challenges to prototype solutions to everyday problems.
Explore STEM Careers: 3D printing drives dynamic STEM careers across engineering, healthcare, and aerospace to design virtual models, and build custom devices.
Take Home Your Work: Design and print custom projects such as personalized gear, functional prototypes, or artistic creations that you get to keep!
If you are curious about engineering, love design, or just want to learn how to create your own custom objects from scratch, this workshop will give you the skills, confidence, and tools to innovate.
Requirements:
Each attendee will need to bring a laptop or tablet to participate. This workshop is for girls ages 12-18 years old.
