In their words
What partners and young learners say
We have been working with Shapeways.io for some time now, and we are always impressed with how they are able to engage our young adults on their programmes. All our engagement with Shapeways.io has been delivered online via Zoom. We started this initiative when the lockdown happened and have continued this partnership with the team ever since. Many of our students have gone on to secure internships with companies in web development, graphic design, and games development, whilst some have also gone on to become teachers at Shapeways.io.

Taking part in the programme gave me the opportunity to strengthen my programming skills, gain practical experience teaching coding to younger children, and build my confidence. I developed my knowledge of languages such as JavaScript and PHP while learning in a welcoming and supportive community. The experience strengthened my ambition to study Computer Science at university and showed me how valuable it is to learn, share knowledge and grow together.

Shapeways has been life-changing for me. Not only am I earning money teaching children to code, but the program has helped me build the confidence and public-speaking skills I need to pursue my dream of studying game design at Hampton University. The supportive, family-like atmosphere here is incredible. Everyone is focused on the success of the whole team, and I know I have a boost toward succeeding in my future courses because of it.
