The location was bright & spacious.
Improvements:
My child didn’t learn much. Would be nice if he learned about 3D printing or how it’s done. It seemed like he just played on a computer.
School's Out! 3D Printing & Design Workshop
Location: MakeInspires NYC UES
Response from MakeInspires NYC
We’re glad you enjoyed the space. Tinkercad can feel like play, and it teaches key aspects of 3D design. The designs will be 3D printed and ready for pickup within a week. When you stop by, we’d be happy to discuss the process. Workshops provide an introduction, while our weekly enrollments dive deeper over 10 weeks. For questions, reach out to our NYC Manager, Nahall, at NYC@MakeInspires.com.
