Get a taste of 3D printing by making your own mini Jack-O'-Lantern! Come to the Studio at Hessen Cassel to learn about designing 3D Models on TinkerCAD Software, using 3D Slicer Software, and printing on a 3D printer. Participants will create a custom JAck-O'Lanterns online in TinkerCAD, and the be able to print it out on the Studio's 3D printer. Jack-O'-Lanterns that will be translucent orange; each one will also have a battery-operated tea light that will be inserted into the project after printing.

Each child in sixth grade or younger attending the program must be directly supervised and assisted by a responsible caregiver while in the Studio.

About the library

Situated on the edge of a busy city neighborhood and within easy driving distance of farms and country-dwellers, Hessen Cassel Branch has been a lifeline for the community since its doors opened in 1972. The library serves as a meeting place for customers of all ages, and is heavily used after school. Hessen Cassel Branch intentionally supports the developmental needs of customers of all ages. From wooden blocks, puppets, and play clothes for children; to classes on art techniques, budgeting, and Allen County history; to an ever-changing collection of print, AV, and electronic materials; we serve a dynamic neighborhood that is rich in cultural and ethnic diversity.
