Only at the Open Hardware Summit #OHS2025 will you find a table where a NASA engineer, a social roboticist, software developers, and a robotics engineer all sitting together... embroidering a #PCB onto fabric.

Short on time but want to introduce kids to #3Dprinting?
Open Tinkercad, drop in a shape with their initials, & print!
On a Bambu Lab A1 Mini, each kid gets a keepsake in 15-20 mins 😊
As it prints, walk them through how it works: from model to slicer to printer magic. Thanks #BambuLab & #Wi3DP
