TOY ARCHITECT
🧩 Imagine. Design. Build.
Step into the world of digital fabrication in Toy Architect!
In this hands-on 1-day camp, children become young toy designers as they transform flat materials into their own self-assembled creation.
Starting with quick cardboard prototypes, participants explore how laser-cut joints work before using Tinkercad to design precise components. Their designs are then laser cut, assembled, tested, painted, and personalised into a toy that is completely their own.
By combining digital design with hands-on making, children discover how an idea can move from a simple sketch to a finished physical creation.
