About Project 3-DRIP
Project 3-DRIP (3D Revolution in Progress) aims to develop 3D Creator Spaces in three Teen Centers across Seattle: Garfield, Rainier Beach, and Southwest Teen Life Center. This project is becoming increasingly relevant and needed, as the 3D revolution is playing a critical role in economic equity and sustainability. 3D printing turns people’s ideas into reality through additive manufacturing that builds their creations layer by layer. This allows conscientious consumers to repair items rather than replace them and lets aspiring entrepreneurs and creators produce items easier than ever before.
Free educational workshops hosted in the Teen Centers and led by community members will teach participants to use 3D printers to craft everything from fidgets and key chains to essential replacement parts. The project culminates in a 3D Creator Showcase that celebrates students' innovative creations and builds new connections with Seattle’s broader community of makers. This project encourages participation in the 3D Revolution and fuel Seattle’s next generation of creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
