STEAM print 3D

Yesterday a group of year 5 children had the amazing experience of visiting the STEAM workshops at New Walk Museum. The workshops provided children with the opportunity to explore and learn about 3D printing, as well as take the time to be influenced by Picasso!

Initially we spent some time in the Attenborough Picasso collection, seeking ideas and influence for our own design. We then met with the design team to consider how we could produce our own Picasso picture, using 3D technology.

We used a variety of methods to produce our design ideas, these were then scanned and transferred to the 3D printers. We then watched with amazement how these produced 3D replicas!

Finally we brought our ideas together to produce our own Picasso work of art.

A truly memorable experience.
