Project 3-DRIP (3D Revolution In Progress) by STGA

About This Grant

Project 3-DRIP (3D Revolution in Progress) by Star Tech Global Academy will develop 3D Creator Spaces in three underserved Teen Centers across Seattle: Garfield, Rainier Beach, and Southwest Teen Life Center. Free educational workshops hosted in the spaces will teach community participants to use 3D printers to craft everything from fidgets and key chains to essential replacement parts. Community members will be recruited and trained to lead the hands-on workshops, and the journey culminates in a 3D Creator Showcase that celebrates their innovative creations and builds new connections with Seattle's broader community of makers. Each location's improved space will be fully equipped with a 3D Printer, supplies, training tutorials, and resources. This project will engage underresourced communities in the 3D Revolution and fuel Seattle's next generation of creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
