About this Event

Please note this session is suitable for ages 8-12 years old.

Delivered by the specialist ICT in Schools team, this premium 2-hour FabLab session gives children a real hands-on look at modern maker technology.

Young creators will use design software to sketch out their own custom graphics or text. From there, they will learn how to operate a digital vinyl cutting machine to precisely carve out their artwork, W**d the design, and use a professional heat press to permanently transfer it onto a wearable T-shirt.

It's a fantastic, high-quality introduction to graphic design and digital manufacturing where everyone walks away with a custom product they built from scratch!

T-shirt included. If you wish to bring your own t-shirt they must be 100% Cotton.

Children aged 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the session.
