Empowering Communities Through Digital Workshops

Empowering Communities Through Digital Workshops

Over the past year, we’ve delivered 140+ workshops across Wales, introducing cutting-edge digital skills to thousands of participants of all ages. With projects still ongoing in Blaenau Gwent, our reach continues to expand, ensuring hands-on access to digital fabrication, repair skills, and creative design.

Real-World Learning for All Ages

From Llandrinio to Margam, we’ve worked with participants aged 4 to 94, including a 94-year-old who successfully learned CAD design. Our SPF-funded workshops cover:

  • Laser Cutting & 3D Printing – Prototyping and bringing ideas to life.
  • 3D Scanning & Repair Cafés – Reducing waste and reviving everyday items.
  • Quilting & Textiles with Laser Cutting – Blending tradition with technology.
  • CAD Design Training – Teaching Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, and Fusion 360.

Encouraging Future Engineers

In partnership with Bridgend Council, we’re running five two-day Velocity Track Challenge workshops for 16-year-olds, introducing them to engineering, digital fabrication, and real-world design challenges.

Expanding Our Impact

Thanks to SPF funding, DTLSN, FabLab, and Cardiff Met, we continue to empower communities with digital skills—fostering creativity, problem-solving, and innovation.
