    Location: (Stadslab Wijnhaven 99)

    Do you want to learn how to use a laser cutter to cut wood or plastic? For example, consider a nameplate with your own engraving or 3D objects such as a box or holder for your phone. You will learn how to prototype this with the laser cutter during this workshop! You will create a file in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and then engrave it or cut it out with the machine.

    Programming with the Microbit

During this workshop you will work on controlling various outputs, such as light and sound, using simple code language. Bring your laptop with a USB A connection (if you only have USB C, bring a connector!)

    3D printing

During this workshop in the Stadslab, you will learn how to print a self-designed model with a 3D printer. You design or edit a 3D model in the Tinkercad software and then print it yourself in a small format. Bring your laptop!
