Bootcamp: 3-hour 3D Printing + Electronics Workshop for Kids

Design and 3D print a custom case, then bring MakerPulse to life with ESP32 electronics. No coding or 3D printing experience needed! 3D Printing Holiday Workshop: Build Your Own MakerPulse: 3D Printing & Electronics Workshop! Date: 11 December 2026, Friday Time: 0900 hrs to 1200 hrs Venue: 35 Lowland Rd, Singapore 547439, The Young Maker (Lowland) Duration: 3 hours Skill Level: Beginner-friendly — no prior experience required! 🧠 About the Workshop Turn your ideas into a functional gadget in this hands-on, 3-hour workshop! Discover how 3D design, 3D printing and electronics come together as you build and customise MakerPulse—an ESP32-powered smart display that shows useful everyday information, including weather, PSI readings and bus arrival timings. You’ll learn to model and 3D print a customised case for MakerPulse, exploring how to design around electronic components while adding your own personal touch. Then, bring your device to life by loading ready-made programs onto the ESP32—a process known as flashing. Along the way, you’ll discover how a 3D-printed object can become more than a decorative piece: it can house electronics and form part of a practical, working product. What you’ll learn: • 3D modelling: Create and customise a case for your MakerPulse. • 3D printing: Understand how a digital design becomes a physical object. • Electronics: Explore the ESP32 and its role in powering your smart display. • Flashing programs: Load ready-made programs onto your device without writing code. • Product building: Combine your case and electronic components into a functional gadget. No coding or 3D printing experience is required! With step-by-step guidance, this workshop is a welcoming introduction for beginners who are curious about designing, making and building with technology. 🧩 Hands-On Activities Get ready to design, print and build!
