Design & 3D Print a Spooky Ghost (Free Kids Workshop)

Details

Bring your creativity to life this Halloween! In this free, hands-on family workshop, participants will learn the basics of 3D design, digital modeling, and simple circuits while creating their very own spooky ghost.

During the session, kids (and parents!) will:

• 💻 Design a 3D Ghost: Use Tinkercad, a beginner-friendly 3D design platform, to create a custom ghost shape and face.
• 💡 Explore Electronics: Experiment with LEDs and coin cell batteries to make your ghost light up.
• 🖨️ Discover 3D Printing: Watch a live demo of 3D printing and learn how digital designs become real objects.
• 🎨 Optional Add-On: Paint and personalize your ghost or have your design 3D printed and mailed to you after the event.

No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and imagination!
All laptops, materials, and electronics will be provided for use during the session.

💻 What to Bring:
Please bring your own laptop and mouse (tablets/trackpads are not recommended for this activity).

👩‍🎨 Who It’s For:
Perfect for ages 8–14, younger children are welcome with parent/guardian support.

Each ticket reserves a spot for 1 child + 1 parent (parents may accompany multiple children, but each child needs their own ticket).

🎟️ Limited Seating
This workshop is free to attend, but space is limited. If your plans change, please cancel your free ticket as soon as possible so another family can participate.
