Digiworks

Digiworks engaged young people wanting to learn about digital marketing, design, 3D printing as well as digital cutting.

Taking place across Westminster, Digiworks brought a chance for young residents to learn new digital skills. 3D design and printing was a popular choice.

Digital Fabrication

From figures of your favourite characters, to making a complete Batman costume, 3D printing and Digital Cutting is a progressive technology which lets people create spectacular three dimensional objects.

Engaging with these helps harness a person’s analytical and problem solving skills – which are great skills to obtain for the labour market of the future (but it’s mainly just really interesting).

3D design and printing

Multiple groups of young people took part in 3D design and 3D printing activities across Westminster.

The participants learnt how to design their items using a 3D designing software, they learnt how the 3D printer works and how to print their designs using our 3D printer. Popular choices for designs included hearts, name tags, anime, phone stands, jewellery, pendants and other interesting and creative objects.

Digital vinyl cutting

For our digital cutting sessions we focused on designing and digitally cutting vinyl stickers. An advantage of digital cutting is that it allows accuracy and perfection that is difficult to accomplish by hand. The participants were able to create intricate designs and allow the digital cutting machine to perform to perfection.

Digital Marketing

Young people had an opportunity to try out digital marketing sessions and learn how to write blog posts, edit and create images for social media, learn a bit more about data analytics and content optimisation, including optimisation for digital accessibility.
