The LETSGROW project invites you to a two-day practical workshop introducing the principles and methods of rapid prototyping using analogue and digital tools. During the workshop, participants will work in interdisciplinary teams to develop and build prototypes in a fully equipped FabLab, gaining experience in 3D printing, laser cutting and microcontrollers. The emphasis is on creativity, user-centred thinking and iterative development. Teams will present their prototypes during an official presentation at the end of the event.
