Great Tech Programs in October with Pixel Academy
Chocolate Pop Workshop
Saturday, October 12 at Noon, 1, 2, and 3 p.m.$35 (materials included)
Design and create your own chocolate lollipop mold! Using 3D modeling and CAD software, kids will design their own unique 3D chocolate cold for making chocolate lollipops!
- First they'll sketch what they want their chocolate pop to look like. A monster face? Someone's name? Or maybe a pet?
- Then they'll use CAD software to create a 3D model of the lollipop!
- After a revision and perfection process they will 3D print the prototype and use it to make a food-safe, dishwasher safe silicone mold.
- The mold can be used at home to make as many chocolate pops as you want.
Kids will take home their 3D printed prototype, a food-safe silicone mold, and a bag of 6 lollipop sticks and 12 candy eyeballs.
