Build digital skills. Share what works.

This workshop provides a practical introduction to using a laser cutter as a tool for digital fabrication. After an overview of the machine’s functionality, applications, and safety requirements, participants learn how to create and prepare digital designs for laser cutting. Using vector-based design software, participants create cutting and engraving files before transferring them to the laser cutter and producing their own projects. Alongside the technical fundamentals, the workshop emphasizes creative problem-solving and hands-on experience with modern manufacturing technologies. Participants explore how laser cutting can be applied in areas such as rapid prototyping, product design, education, and customized manufacturing. Example projects include: • Creating a personalized keychain • Designing a custom wood engraving • Manufacturing a small component or prototype • Developing a simple interlocking construction kit

This module introduces students to 3D bodies, 3D technologies, and the basic process of turning an idea into a digital and physical 3D model. Through presentation, demonstration and hands-on work, students learn the difference between 2D and 3D representation, the main groups of 3D technologies (additive, subtractive, forming, digitising), modelling in Onshape, 3D printing and the 3D pen. The same shape is built both by hand (3D pen) and digitally (CAD model, slicing, 3D printer) — so students understand why the digital step exists in the first place.

LEARN IT! CAD Basics introduces beginners to CAD as a practical tool for turning real problems into testable physical prototypes. Participants work on a small personal CAD Challenge and move through the complete development loop: Problem → Geometry → CAD Model → Prototype → Test → Modify. Using Autodesk Fusion, participants learn 2D sketching, parametric 3D modelling, design intent, basic technical documentation and preparation for digital fabrication. The focus is not on learning as many software functions as possible, but on developing the confidence and independence to create, adapt, fabricate and improve simple CAD solutions.
