Bootcamp: 3-hour 3D Printing + Electronics Workshop for Kids

Date: 31 October 2026, Saturday
Time: 1600 hrs to 1900 hrs
Venue: 35 Lowland Rd, Singapore 547439, The Young Maker (Lowland)
Duration: 3 hours
Skill Level: Beginner-friendly — no prior experience required!

Turn your ideas into a functional gadget in this hands-on, 3-hour workshop! Discover how 3D design, 3D printing and electronics come together as you build and customise MakerPulse—an ESP32-powered smart display that shows useful everyday information, including weather, PSI readings and bus arrival timings.

You’ll learn to model and 3D print a customised case for MakerPulse, exploring how to design around electronic components while adding your own personal touch. Then, bring your device to life by loading ready-made programs onto the ESP32—a process known as flashing.

Along the way, you’ll discover how a 3D-printed object can become more than a decorative piece: it can house electronics and form part of a practical, working product.

What you’ll learn:

• 3D modelling: Create and customise a case for your MakerPulse.
• 3D printing: Understand how a digital design becomes a physical object.
• Electronics: Explore the ESP32 and its role in powering your smart display.
• Flashing programs: Load ready-made programs onto your device without writing code.
• Product building: Combine your case and electronic components into a functional gadget.

No coding or 3D printing experience is required! With step-by-step guidance, this workshop is a welcoming introduction for beginners who are curious about designing, making and building with technology.

Get ready to design, print and build! In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll explore how 3D printing and electronics come together to create your very own MakerPulse smart display.

Learn to use 3D modelling tools to customise a case for your MakerPulse. Add your personal touch while learning how to design a practical enclosure that fits electronic components.

Discover how to prepare your case for 3D printing and watch how a digital model becomes a physical object. Explore the printing process, from slicing your model to understanding layers, infill and supports.

Bring your smart display to life by flashing ready-made programs onto an ESP32—no coding required! Learn how MakerPulse connects to information such as:

• 🌤️ Weather updates
• 🌫️ PSI readings
• 🚌 Bus arrival timings

Combine your 3D-printed case with the electronic components to complete your MakerPulse. Discover how design and electronics work together to turn an idea into a useful everyday product.

• 3D printing fundamentals and real-world applications
• Basic 3D modelling to customise an electronics enclosure
• How to prepare and slice a model for printing
• Practical concepts such as layers, infill and supports
• An introduction to the ESP32 and flashing ready-made programs
• How to combine 3D-printed parts and electronics into a functional product

• Your MakerPulse smart display with a customised 3D-printed case
• Your digital case design to continue refining after the workshop
• Practical skills to kick-start your next making project

No coding, electronics or 3D printing experience is required. We’ll guide you step by step—just bring your curiosity and creativity!

Info: Explore how 3D printers turn digital designs into physical objects. Learn about the printing workflow and key concepts such as layers, infill and supports.

Info: Learn basic model editing and print preparation in Bambu Studio. Personalise a provided case design for your ESP32 display and prepare it for 3D printing.

Info: Flash a ready-made program onto the ESP32 and assemble your own MakerPulse smart display to show weather, PSI readings and bus arrival timings—no coding required!
