School Holiday Workshop | Prototype to Product: 3D Design Challenge

Challenge yourself with these 3D printing projects.

This fully funded school holiday workshop extends NCM's highly successful 3D printing program for high-achieving students.

Participants use Tinkercad and BambuLab 3D printers to transform original ideas into physical prototypes, strengthening CAD skills while applying engineering principles and critical thinking.

Students select from three real-world project pathways, including reinventing an existing product, architectural design, or developing a gift or business concept, progressing through the full design cycle from research and ideation to prototyping, testing and refinement.

Please note: these are one-day workshops, choose either Wed 1 or 8 Jul.

After the workshop, students and families are welcome to explore the rest of the museum at no extra charge!

Age Group: 10–12 years
Experience Level: No prior experience required. This workshop is funded by VCES. The Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series (VCES) provides funded extension activities for high-ability students in Victorian government schools from Prep to Year 12.
