What we do

An Education Package that has it all

e-STEAM¹⁰¹ is an education package, focused on teaching 3D printing and entrepreneurship to educators, students, youth and adults across Aotearoa. 3D Printing is an exciting technology with incredible potential, but learning how to do it can often seem difficult and intimidating.

That's exactly why we created e-STEAM¹⁰¹. It's the perfect solution to get your school or community group feeling inspired to start!

Educator training

Upskilling that's flexible and easy.

We run a comprehensive, 6-week training program for educators, youth workers and community service providers who work extensively with youth.

Our e-STEAM¹⁰¹ educator training program will guide you through the basics of digital design, 3D printing, entrepreneurship and curriculum/program integration. We take an innovative approach to professional development by using practical design projects as the back-bone of our delivery. Participants will not only learn how to use 3D printing but will make several incredible designs that they can utilise in the classroom or at home.

Training includes a full day, in-person workshop followed by 5 virtual training sessions that can be done from the comfort of your own home or at your organization.


Design Training

We'll teach you how to make incredible designs using clever techniques that produce the highest quality results.

Technical Training

Our technical training is practical and project-based so you can develop a range of skills in a fraction of the time.

Youth Workshops

Exciting experiences with REAL results.

Our workshops are highly engaging, collaborative,  and practical by nature. Youth participants will receive a hands-on learning experience where they will design, print and sell their very first product. We know exactly how to get youth excited and specialise in knowing how to guide them through their first experience.

We are passionate when it comes empowering youth through STEAM and entrepreneurship. We help them learn how make real money for themselves, their families and their communities while they're still young!

In most cases, we actually purchase one of the designs that youth will make and utilise them in the work that we do. This means that often, participants are making their first sale by the end of our workshop. We offer a range of workshop experiences that can be tailored to the needs of your youth.

Bringing their ideas to life

In all of our workshops, participants will create their own designs, watch a 3D printer make their designs real and walk away with a product they can be proud of.

Inspiring Youth to Start

We know how to get youth excited and confident to engage with STEAM and entrepreneurship for the very first time.
