PRESENTATION

The main goal of the course/presentation is to introduce FabLab and its possibilities to children and young people. Trainer provides basic information about the technologies that are available in FabLab, introduces 3D modelling and 3D printing to participants, shows how to use it, what materials can be used and what 3D printing can be used for. During the course participants are also able to learn how to use free 3D modelling software – Autodesk 123D Design. The course provides basic knowledge about 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and the use of 3D printing in everyday life. It also introduces the infrastructure of FabLab to young people what will result in acquaintance with cutting-edge technologies and creativity.
