Engineering & Innovation Club: 3D Design, Electronics, Coding & AI (9 - 18yrs) at Broxburn - Strathbrock Community Centre, Broxburn. Recommended Age: 9 + Duration: 3 blocks per year (one block per school term) Skills Required: Ability to follow instructions, and an interest in designing, building and creating. No previous coding, electronics or 3D design experience is required. Type of Coding: Block-based programming or MicroPython, depending on the project, hardware and learner's experience. Equipment: Learners must bring their own laptop and mouse. Overview This project-based course introduces learners to engineering design through hands-on challenges and real-world projects. Working in teams, learners will design, prototype and build interactive products using 3D design, 3D printing, electronics, physical computing, coding and AI tools. Throughout the year, they will develop creativity, problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills while contributing to longer-term group projects that are showcased at the end of the programme. Materials and Project Components All electronics, components and materials required during workshop sessions are provided by First Step Robotics. Learners may be given the opportunity to keep completed projects. Where this is possible, parents or guardians will be asked to cover the cost of components, materials and manufacturing. Learners may showcase their work and contributions as part of their personal portfolio. Important Information 3D printing is a shared resource and print times can vary significantly depending on the size and complexity of a model. It may not be possible to print every learner's design during the same session, and larger projects may require multiple printing sessions. Don’t Forget the Sibling Discount: Enjoy a 15% discount automatically applied to each additional child when siblings are booked together in the same order. Please note: Sibling discounts will not apply if bookings are made in separate orders. FINANCIAL SUPPORT As a social enterprise, we do our best to support talented and motivated young people who may not otherwise be able to afford our course fees.

Maker Club: 3D Design, Prototyping and 3D Printing (No coding) (9 - 18yrs) at Broxburn - Strathbrock Community Centre, Broxburn. Recommended Age: 9 years + Duration: 3 blocks of term (Aug/Sept 2026 – June 2027) Skills Required: Basic computer skills and ability to follow instructions. No previous 3D design experience required. Type of Software: Beginner-friendly 3D design software progressing to more advanced CAD tools. Equipment: Learners must bring their own laptop and a mouse. Overview Turn your ideas into real objects! In this hands-on Maker Club, learners will explore the exciting world of 3D design, digital making and 3D printing. Using beginner-friendly CAD software and 3D printers, they will learn how engineers, designers and inventors create products, prototypes and solutions to real-world problems. Learners will design and print a variety of creative and practical projects while developing skills in design thinking, problem-solving, measurement, engineering and digital technology. Experienced learners who have attended our previous 3D design and printing workshops will have the opportunity to work on an agreed long-term project, allowing them to further develop their design, engineering and manufacturing skills while receiving mentor guidance. Throughout the programme, learners will be encouraged to experiment, innovate and bring their own ideas to life. In Term 3 (May–June 2027), they will have the opportunity to showcase their projects at our Family Tech Day and other community events, celebrating their achievements with family and friends. Important Information 3D printing is a shared resource and print times can vary significantly depending on the size and complexity of a model. As a result, it may not be possible to print every learner's design during the same session. The course is designed to be taken from the beginning of a block, as each session builds on previous learning. Learners joining mid-block may need to complete additional work at home to catch up. Regular attendance is recommended to get the most from the programme and successfully complete projects. Don’t Forget the Sibling Discount: Enjoy a 15% discount automatically applied to each additional child when siblings are booked together in the same order. Please note: Sibling discounts will not apply if bookings are made in separate orders.
