In this workshop, we will review the basics of laser cutting/engraving, provide an overview of design thinking and the importance of rough prototyping, and share examples of projects that you can do with your students. Participants should bring their laptop to get the full experience of designing, engraving, and cutting with various materials, leaving with their own custom-made projects using our FLUX Inc. laser cutter.
New to FLUX laser cutters? No worries! Topics covered in this workshop apply to most other models of laser cutters. Don’t have a laser engraver at your school (yet)? This is the perfect opportunity to learn how it can enhance your STEAM or makerspace programming.
