Kidesign is an educational company specialising in designing creative curriculum materials for CAD and 3D printing projects to encourage student engagement in Design and STEM subjects. Kidesign enables learning through making and uses technology as a creative tool to reconnect the digital and physical worlds by teaching practical 21st century skills. Since 2010 Kidesign pioneered creative 3D printing workshops for children through which we have gathered invaluable research and experience.

Kidesign will run a creative workshop that will use our new "Densters" toy monsters, which allow children to build creative dens and forts. Each Denster is a playful character that grabs onto furniture and holds bedsheets and blankets to enable children to work together and easily construct different types of den and tent structures. As part of the workshop, children will also learn how the Densters were made on 3D printers and will have a chance to experience 3D printing in action
