3D Design

Unlock creativity through digital modeling and simple design tools.

About Our 3D Design

3D Design is an exciting part of the STEMpower Through Art project, giving young participants the chance to explore digital creativity through simple modelling tools and hands-on design tasks. By working with basic shapes, colours and structures, participants learn how to transform ideas into digital objects while developing spatial awareness and creative confidence.

What We Do in Our 3D Design Workshops

In our 3D design sessions, young people:

  • experiment with basic geometric shapes

  • build simple 3D objects, characters or everyday items

  • explore colours, textures and visual style

  • create small digital art pieces or design prototypes

  • learn how digital models move, rotate and interact in a 3D space

Workshops are structured so that participants can follow clear steps while exploring their own creativity.
