At Cantraybridge College, students are exploring digital creativity and design in their newly renamed Karten Centre, formerly the Digital Studio, supported by equipment funded through the Karten Network.
The updated space features a suite of PCs and 3D printers that students are using to develop their skills in 3D modelling, animation, and design. Using Blender, a powerful open-source 3D software tool, learners are building confidence through hands-on projects that cover everything from sculpting and UV mapping to shading and keyframe animation. Each student is working on their own unique creation, and the results speak for themselves. From stylised character models to ambitious architectural scenes, the work on display reflects both creativity and technical skill.
As part of the relaunch, students also created a new Karten Network Centre sign using the 3D printer. It was a collaborative effort that now proudly marks the entrance to the space. It’s a small detail, but one that showcases both practical application and a strong sense of ownership over the learning environment.
This blend of creativity, technology and skill-building highlights what access to the right tools and support can unlock. The Karten Centre is more than just a room full of computers; it’s a place where students explore, design, and express ideas in exciting new ways.
