This term we will be introducing Makers Empire to our Year 5 & 6 students.

Makers Empire is an award-winning, curriculum-aligned 3D design app and program that students can use to create anything they can imagine and design 3D solutions to real-world problems that can be then printed/prototyped with a 3D printer. 

A 12-month university research study showed that primary school students who used Makers Empire improved their creative, critical thinking, design thinking and digital skills. Students were highly engaged with the 3D technology and solving genuine design challenges – it helped boost their confidence and resilience when dealing with setbacks, particularly for those less capable students.

Unlike free 3D design software/apps, Makers Empire:

• Has been designed specifically for K-8 students;
• Is easier to use, especially for younger students;
• Is extremely fun and engaging; and
• Is accredited by Education Alliance Finland for pedagogical quality.
