About this event

Event lasts 2 hours 15 minutes

How do computers turn digital designs into real-world products? In this hands-on workshop, you will explore the exciting connection between math, coding, and manufacturing to create your own embroidered patterns!

Using TurtleStitch, a free programming language, you will design geometric patterns with simple programming commands. Then, watch as a digital embroidery machine stitches your creations onto fabric, bringing your design from a digital design to a physical product.

By coding patterns and bringing them to life with technology, you will learn how engineers use software to design, measure, and manufacture products. Whether it’s a simple stitched shape or a complex pattern, you will see firsthand how digital designs can become physical objects—just like in industry and business!

This workshop is strictly for ages 9–11 only.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
