3D printing is changing many industries and will continue in the future: from spare parts to building, almost everything can be printed. Before you can print anything in 3D, you need to prepare the part you want to print. And this forces you to think in 3D.
With her experience as a mother who was always looking for that tiny part of a toy for her kids, Petra Rees decided to found WhyToyz, a company aimed at "inspiring children to become innovative thinkers and creators."
In this episode, Petra walks us into the creation of WhyToyz as well as its evolution with the Covid crisis. It's a story of pivoting and grabbing the opportunity bull by the horns. Inspiring, motivating and deeply engaging, enjoy this episode!
