3D Designing & Printing

 In this session defines 3D designing and printing, illustrates the current uses of 3D printing and it introduces students to Tinkercad, a beginner friendly 3D designing software. It is an interactive, hands-on session where students will get to design a simple 3D keychain, which will be printed for free, and if the session is delivered at the Progress or Story Arts Centre Library; students will get to see the 3D printer in use; and some students will be able to have their keychain printed then and there. 

 

Vlogging 

 In the workshop, students will learn about the vlogging process (planning, production and post-production), they will get tips on creating great videos, and will learn how to edit videos to include text, music and imagery with VEED.IO.
