Sketch an idea
Kids start on paper with something they want to make, such as a name tag or a small fix for an everyday problem.
3D PRINTING WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS · RICHMOND HILL
3D design and printing
for curious kids.
In a STEAM360 3D printing workshop, kids turn a sketch into a 3D design on screen, watch a 3D printer build it layer by layer, and take it home. Workshops run at the Richmond Hill Central Library, include all materials, and need no experience.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A WORKSHOP
From a sketch to something they can hold.
Build it in 3D
In beginner-friendly design software, they shape the idea into a 3D model, learning shapes, measurement and how to fix a design.
Print it for real
They watch a 3D printer turn their file into an object, layer by layer, and take their print home.

About 3D printing workshops for kids.
Does my child need to know how to design in 3D?
No. We start from the beginning, and most kids are designing in 3D for the first time.
What do kids take home?
The object they designed and printed in the workshop, such as a personalized name tag.
What does it cost?
Each workshop shows its price before you apply, and the price includes all materials and the use of our equipment. Joining a waitlist costs nothing. Our terms explain cancellations and refunds.
Do they need a laptop?
They are welcome to bring one. Most workshops have loaner devices to borrow, first come, first served (each workshop’s page says how many).
