Local workshops in Estonia were held between December 2021 and February 2022.
In Estonia, local workshops were offered to youngsters at 2 different locations: Tartu Youth Work Center and Tartu Kesklinna School.
Involvement of associated partners in delivering local workshops has helped the project to reach youngsters in different parts of Tartu.
The activities took place in youth center and in one school. The three workshops that took place in school were integrated into arts and IT lessons.
Tartu Noorsootöö Keskus provided the local partner school with 3D printer for the testing period. Other necessary materials, such as plastic for printing, silicone and other items, were also supplied.
All of the participants were 13-16 years old and studying in three different schools in Tartu. One group consisted of young people from a non-Estonian speaking school.
A total number of 106 youngsters took part in 3D workshops and experienced the endless possibilities of 3D printing!
Modelling in TinkerCad was interesting for most of the participants and some of them wanted to explore the program even after the time was up.
Making paper boxes and doing silicone molds was a fun and crafty way to make something for everyday use.
Most of the young people had no experience with modelling and 3D printing, but in each group there was at least one participant, who had some.
Facilitators used “pizza method” to get feedback and reflect on the workshops. Most of the dots showed the improved skills and knowledge that participants got from two workshops.
Half of the facilitators had a prior knowledge of 3D modelling and printing before this project. The facilitators had prior working experience in youth field so it helped with planning non-formal activities. The facilitators stated that workshops were fun and participants were excited to learn more about 3D printer and modelling.
