In cooperation with the Science and Technology Park of Montenegro, a series of professional workshops in 3D modeling and 3D printing was organized for teachers of the Elementary School “Radojica Perović,” as part of an initiative to enhance digital and technical competencies in education.

The training was designed as a combination of theoretical and practical work, enabling participants to not only learn the technical fundamentals but also understand the mindset behind product development — in other words, the journey from idea to realization.

During the interactive sessions, participants were introduced to the basics of 3D modeling and spatial thinking, working with 3D design software such as Blender, and the process of preparing models for 3D printing. A special part of the workshop focused on the low-poly modeling approach, which is used in the early stages of product design and development.

The workshops were led by Anika Vilotić, an automotive and 3D designer trained at Goldsmiths, University of London, with experience working on high-performance industry projects. Through her professional work, she bridges design, engineering, and modern technologies, providing participants with insight into real-world industrial processes.

With her guidance, while working on practical tasks, participants had the opportunity to unleash their creative side and connect it with a problem-oriented approach, independently preparing models for 3D printing. This provided them with a foundation for further enhancing their teaching and integrating modern technologies into the classroom.

This initiative represents another step toward connecting education with modern technologies and industry practices, while continuously supporting the development of knowledge and skills that are essential for the future in a time of rapid change and technological transformation.
