Gingerbread House Challenge
The first annual Fab Lab Gingerbread House Challenge will combine engineering, design, and sustainability to construct non-edible gingerbread houses! Using 3Doodler pens, 3D printed materials, laser-cut pieces, and upcycled materials, students will design and build intricate structures inspired by traditional gingerbread houses—but with a twist! Instead of cookies and icing, we’ll use plastic filaments, recycled cardboard, fabric, and more.
This hands-on experience fosters creativity and problem-solving as participants learn about structural integrity, sustainable building practices, and 3D printing technology. Perfect for budding architects, designers, and environmentally conscious creators!
