Enhancing creativity for K-12 students in underserved communities through 3d design learning experience
Our 3D printing workshop was an amazing experience for both our team and the participants. The goal of the workshop was to enhance creativity for K-12 students in underserved communities through 3D design learning experiences. We used TinkerCad, an easy-to-use 3D modeling software, as a tool to teach the basics of 3D design and printing.
We had 20 students who had no prior design experience participate in the workshop. They were all eager to learn and were excited to see what they could create with 3D printing. Over the course of the workshop, they learned about the history of 3D printing, its various applications, and the potential career paths that exist in this field.
Our team of experienced artists provided hands-on guidance to the participants, teaching them how to identify and execute the steps leading to the design and printing of a 3D object. We encouraged them to express their thoughts and questions, allowing for maximum flow of our creative process together as a group.
One of the most exciting aspects of the workshop was giving the participants the freedom to customize their objects. They were able to show their creativity by designing objects that were unique and personal to them. We were amazed at the level of innovation and creativity that the students demonstrated.
At the end of the workshop, each student had successfully created at least one 3D printing object. We were proud to see the level of progress they had made over the course of the workshop. We had accomplished our goal of enhancing creativity through 3D design learning experiences.
Overall, the workshop was a great success, and we're proud to have been a part of it. It was amazing to see the level of enthusiasm and creativity that the participants demonstrated. We're excited to continue our efforts to provide accessible and engaging learning experiences for all, and we look forward to the next opportunity to enhance creativity through 3D design and printing.
