Intellectual output
The intellectual output will focus on learners who have no previous knowledge about 3D printing. Our methodology is prepared for 3D workshops for young people (14-19) where they learn, create, innovate, communicate and collaborate with their peers in an open, non-formal environment.
The goal of the workshops will be to create a silicone mold (form). Those forms can be designed for many purposes: as baking forms for cookies or pies (silicone can be put into a hot oven), for making chocolate, soap, ice cubes, etc.
The process will involve designing the form, printing it with 3D printer and then using silicone to make a form from the 3D-printed object.
