Where excellence happens
NCIE.ORG.AU | 180 GEORGE ST, REDFERN
WE’RE SEEKING:
Twelve Indigenous participants aged between 14 and 18 who may be interested in pursuing future
activities in design, engineering, digital arts, or manufacturing, or who just have an interest
in 3D printing.
We are accepting participants on a “first in, first served” basis, so get in quick!
No prior design or 3D printing experience is necessary, though basic computer skills is
necessary.
This is an innovative and creative opportunity where all participants will explore Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander culture while using new technology. Every student will have an opportunity to print
something that they can take home.
