Maker City

We believe that young people should have the chance to access and explore the exciting world of digital making.

Maker City is a programme for makers aged 10 – 17 from across Bristol. Young people can experiment with a range of digital manufacturing technologies, including laser cutting, robotics, vacuum forming, 3D scanning, 3D printing and using a vinyl cutter –  all whilst learning about the product design process and social action campaigning.
