Workshop 0248 - 3d foodmaker

3d Foodmaker is a new experience.

The 3d foodmaker workshop is a great experience for children. Mimicking fruit, vegetables, or a favourite food such as pizza. The 3D printing pen is a handy tool meant to make your own three-dimensional shapes. The technique is the same as that of the 3D printer. It works like an ordinary pen that you fill with plastic thread called filaments. Users can 'draw' with the molten plastic on a piece of paper as if they were holding a real pen. The molten filament is flexible and easy to work with.

In this creative workshop, you will learn how to print your own 'food' that you can hold. Students choose food they are going to recreate with the 3D printing pens. In doing so, they have to look carefully at the shape, volume, colour and texture of the food. Each student chooses a unique type of food and the aim is to work with the group to print the most varied meal possible in the classroom. Before they can print the food, they will first have to create the design and then choose which 3D printing technique they will use to create everything.

Key objectives
Students learn to improve their spatial understanding. This allows them to translate subjects as they perceive them through a digital tool. They acquire some knowledge about, and gain an appreciation of, aspects of their environment. They also acquire 3D printing skills and techniques in an exploratory phase. In addition, they learn to deal with new media, such as 3D printing. Pupils learn to look differently at their environment, as well as improving their sensory perceptions.
