This workshop is more than just a fun Halloween activity; it's an essential foundation (Foundation) for becoming a 'Future Innovator'. All participants will receive a Certificate of Participation.

This Halloween, it's not just "Trick or Treat," it's "Invent and Create!" This workshop is designed to build "Future Innovators" using technology that is becoming a fundamental skill in the 21st century.

Kids won't just be making toys; we are building the "Mindset" and "Skillset" necessary for the future through 3 crucial steps:

Designing: The Innovator's Starting Point. Every innovation begins with an "Idea" and "Problem-Solving." In this step, kids will unleash their Creativity. They won't just "draw a ghost," but will "Design" their own Halloween character. This is Design Thinking in practice, a critical skill that makes kids "Future Ready" for any career path.
3D Modeling: Bringing Imagination into the Digital World. A great idea is meaningless if it just stays in your head. This step is all about Technology! Kids will learn to use Software to "sculpt" their 2D ideas into a tangible 3D Model. This is the vital link between Art and Engineering, training logical thinking and spatial skills.
3D Printing: The Power of Creating a 'Prototype'. This is the Highlight and the most important skill! Once the Model file is ready... it's time to "Print!"
A Playful 'Hands-on Making' Experience: Kids will watch the 3D Printer in action, printing their creations Layer-by-layer. This is the magic that inspires!
The Power of 'Prototyping': This is the most crucial part! We emphasize that 3D Printing isn't just a "toy maker"; it is a "Tool for creating a Prototype." This is the heart of Innovation! In business and tech, a Prototype is "the way to rapidly turn an idea into a Physical Object" to Test, Learn, and Iterate. Learning this process now gives kids a massive advantage.
