Education Edition - Design It. Print it. Bring It to Life with Adobe

Turn your ideas into something you can actually hold. In this Adobe Live session, we’ll walk through how to create eye-catching designs in Adobe Express, transform them into 3D models using Adobe Firefly, and bring your concepts to life through 3D printing. You’ll learn how to take sketches, drawings, and artwork and turn them into polished digital designs—then push them even further into real-world creations. From idea to final object, this session is perfect for educators, students, and creators ready to bridge creativity, AI, and hands-on making.
