Note: Every participant gets to 3D print his/her design and take it away as a souvenir. But, since 3D printing is time consuming, not every participant's model can be 3D printed during the course of the workshop. Every participant can design a model of his/her choice and get it 3D printed within the next 10 days, which will be shipped to him/her.
