3D Design and Print Workshop
Alban City Free School
Description
3D Design and Printing
What content does the event teach?
This event will introduce the pupils to different types of and capabilities of 3D printers.
They will also learn about static 3D designs using simple shapes and text.
Which methods and resources are used to convey this content to the participants?
Using the software TinkerCad, pupils will be able to access 3D design and printing at an age and developmentally appropriate level.
Pupils will be able to explore and experiment with the software before designing their own keyring to later be printed.
What are the goals of the event?
After time to explore the software, pupils will design their own 3D keyring which will then be printed from them to take home.
Raise aspirations
Increase knowledge of technology in the wider world (career/hobby)
Which target group are you addressing with your event?
This all-day event will be accessible to all 60 pupils in Year 5
Specifically to help raise aspirations for the 14 pupils with special educational needs and the 19 pupils identified as disadvantaged.
We also hope to raise engagement for girls through this real-world applicable workshop.
What makes your event special for the target group?
3D design and printing is an experience that none of the pupils will have accessed before and to be able to have their designs printed to take home will embed this experience further.
Is there any other relevant information for the target group, e.g. about registration?
Within this group, a further 20 children have English as an additional language.
