Workshops from Happylab Wien
A hands-on workshop where apprentices explore digital manufacturing technologies like 3D printing, laser cutting, and robotics. Participants design, build, and code their own robotic prototypes using Calliope mini controllers. The course promotes creativity, teamwork, and digital literacy through practical challenges. This workshop gives apprentices a comprehensive introduction to digital tools and manufacturing methods. They learn how to model in CAD, operate digital machines, and build functional prototypes. By completing a team-based robotics project, participants enhance their creative problem-solving, technical confidence, and digital skills. Assessment: Final presentation of the robotic prototype and group challenge. Material costs: €100 per participant
Target: Other
