Service Description

This creative and educational workshop series is designed for students in primary and secondary education. Part 1 – Gathering Materials Participants learn where raw materials come from, particularly coffee grounds as a biobased waste material. After an introduction, they go on a mission to collect used coffee grounds and dry them. This sets the foundation for the next steps in the toy production process. Part 2 – Making Molds for Toys In this workshop, participants learn how to design their own toy molds. They begin by sketching ideas, then move on to 3D software to create a digital design. Finally, they use a 3D printer to turn their mold into a physical object. In doing so, they explore the basics of 3D design and digital fabrication. Part 3 – Making Toys Here, students get hands-on with making toys. They learn how to create a biodegradable material and use molds and a press to shape their toy creations. Everything made is carefully dried in preparation for the next step. Part 4 – Modifying Toys In this session, participants personalize their self-made toys. After a brief explanation and demonstrations of various modification techniques, they use tools and craft materials to adapt their creations. This is where the toys begin to reflect each student’s unique character. Part 5 – Composting The final workshop focuses on sustainability and circularity. Participants learn what to do with worn-out toys or leftover material. They discover how to create compost and how to dispose of biobased materials in an eco-friendly way. Finally, they create their own compost heap in groups under supervision.  Each workshop lasts 2 hours and can be followed individually or booked as a complete series. The full package costs €2’700; individual parts start at €550. For more information or to book a workshop, please use the contact form below.
