Workshops for Makers – February 2026
EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS WITH TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT
The “Workshops for Makers” of Youth Makerspace Larnaka are back for the entire month of February!
The aim of these educational workshops is to promote creativity and hands-on making through the technological equipment available at the space, as well as the programs that accompany it. Each WFM series focuses not only on education, but also on encouraging makers to incorporate various forms of technology into the development of their original ideas. In addition, the workshops strengthen the community of makers and tech lovers, as well as the Youth Makerspace program itself.

«Basics on Character Design»
7/2/2026 | 10:00-12:00
Description: This beginner’s character design workshop invites young people to learn how characters are built using visual language and storytelling. Participants will explore how shapes suggest personality, how colours communicate mood, and how story gives meaning to design. Characters can be applied to games, animation, films, comics, and other creative projects. The workshop concludes with a hands-on activity where each participant designs their own original character.

Description: In this workshop, participants will explore TinkerCAD, a simple and user-friendly 3D design tool. Participants will learn the basics of 3D design and how simple geometric shapes can be transformed into complete three-dimensional objects and constructions. The TinkerCAD uses a simulation environment where participants can examine how the laws of physics and engineering concepts affect their virtual designs. They will gain an understanding of fundamental concepts such as motion, forces, weight, and balance. The workshop is aimed at beginners who want to gain their first hands-on experience with the world of 3D design.
Age: 12+
