Abstract

We use the fun of the experience and challenge of solving mazes as motivation in a workshop that teaches 3D modeling, augmented reality and 3D printing skills. The workshop was tested both on-line and offline at the ArsElectronica outside in Kepler's garden. Participants experience the geometrical attributes of mazes to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts such as mirroring, rotation, translation and certain basics of algorithms. The mazes created in this workshop can be solved, shared and experienced using mobile devices.
