Discover the Workshop
This hands-on workshop for teens explores state-of-the-art techniques in skateboard design and construction, giving every participant the opportunity to create their own unique, functional skateboard. We begin with modeling finger boards and miniature skatepark features using 3-D software and 3-D printers. For the final project, students learn essential techniques in mold making, vacuum press bent lamination, laser cutting, and stencil work. Students walk away from the workshop with an introduction to general tools, equipment and software, and with a fully completed skateboard, ready for shredding at the local park.
