In this hands-on session, children aged 8 to 14 years will learn about carnivorous plants and design a custom planter to bring one home.

Participants will learn about carnivorous plants and their role in Australian ecosystems, use Tinkercad to design their very own planter, design a personalised planter using simple 3D modelling tools, add creative touches and unique details to make their planter one-of-a-kind, and 3D print their finished design on our Bambu Lab P1S printers.

Along the way, kids get a gentle intro to how 3D printing works and what it's like to create in a real makerspace with guidance from our expert facilitators.

Please note: 3D prints may need to be collected the week after the workshop.

This program is free, but bookings are essential.
