Competitions & Events
CADathon
Print and Play is proud to host the CADathon, a competitive design event that has grown to attract over 400+ student participants. Students use CAD software and 3D printing to design, iterate, and present real-world solutions — building engineering mindsets from an early age.
Blueprint Cup
We built the Blueprint Cup, a competition platform designed to challenge students to think like engineers and entrepreneurs. The Blueprint Cup brings together schools across the region to compete in design challenges that emphasize collaboration, innovation, and real-world problem solving.
World Records
Print and Play has supported participants in achieving multiple world records, a testament to what's possible when students are given the right tools, mentorship, and encouragement to push boundaries.
Community Impact
Our mission goes beyond the classroom. Print and Play runs community STEM and workshop programs that bring hands-on making to underserved communities, libraries, and youth organizations.
In Summer 2026, we're launching new summer camp programs that will give students an immersive, multi-day experience in 3D printing, laser cutting, CAD design, and creative engineering — all in a fun, inclusive environment.
Whether it's a school workshop, a community pop-up, or a multi-day camp, we believe every young person deserves access to the tools and inspiration to build something great.
