This program is open to students aged 8-14 who are curious about creativity and technology, as well as educators looking to bring innovative tools like 3D printing into their classrooms. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to learn and explore! We are looking for students with little to no experience with 3D printing and design.
A Note on Inclusivity
We’re committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. Our goal is to ensure that at least 50% of participants are female, empowering girls to explore STEM and helping to close the gender gap in these fields.This program proudly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). By providing accessible and engaging workshops, we ensure participants receive high-quality educational experiences that foster creativity, technical skills, and problem-solving.
A key focus of the program is promoting gender equality in STEM. We are committed to empowering girls to explore and thrive in technology-driven fields, aiming for at least 50% female participation. Together, we’re building a future where innovation and opportunity are truly inclusive.
We’re turning ‘what ifs’ into ‘look what I made!’ as students and educators bring big ideas to life with hands-on 3D design and printing.
This project introduces students and educators in Aruba to 3D design and printing through hands-on workshops, fostering creativity, technical skills, and a passion for STEM.
