3D print workshop models creativity in Notts.

Team leader Mark has been helping our learners to explore the process making new products in our 3D print workshop and we've had lots of fun turning ideas into tangible products that could be sold or gifted within our wider community. Following a set creative brief, young people split into teams to sketch out their ideas before coming together to decide on the best one to prototype. "3D printing is a great way for our learners to channel their creativity and work together to build digital skills" says Mark. "Through our print shop, we're also able to work on personal projects like learners designing and printing their own fidget toys which facilitates learning around a broader range of subjects - it's really encouraging to see young people be excited about the world around them as they explore different materials and discuss their creations with such entrepreneurial spirit!"
