The India Association of Greater Boston (IAGB) hosted a 3D Printing Workshop on April 11, 2026, bringing together students, families, and community members for an immersive introduction to emerging technology.

According to a statement from IAGB, the event highlighted the organization’s ongoing commitment to promoting STEM learning, youth engagement, and community enrichment across the Greater Boston region.

The workshop featured hands-on sessions in which participants learned the fundamentals of 3D design, modeling, and printing. Students worked directly with instructors, explored real-world applications of 3D printing, and created their own take-home printed objects. The program aimed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage young learners to explore technology-driven fields.

IAGB welcomed Sandeep Asija of Asija Properties as the Guest of Honor. According to the statement, his presence underscored the importance of community partnerships in expanding educational opportunities for youth. “Workshops like this empower our next generation to think creatively and embrace innovation,” he said during the event.

The workshop was led by Prashant Kulkarni, IAGB’s Workshop Lead, along with a team of volunteers including Deepak Garg, Lima Das, Shital Bhammar, Manish Bhowmick, and Vijay Ejenkar. Their coordination ensured a smooth and engaging experience for participants. IAGB also expressed gratitude to Gautam and Rachana Shah for providing the venue, and to Dev Patil of The Treasury, Burlington, for supporting the event with refreshments, the statement noted.

IAGB President Nilesh Agrawal emphasized the organization’s mission to create meaningful learning opportunities for the community. “Our goal is to bring families together through programs that inspire, educate, and strengthen community connections. This workshop reflects IAGB’s commitment to empowering youth and fostering a culture of innovation.”

The event also featured photography by Jeevan Sarode, whose work captured the energy and engagement of the day. Photos from the workshop will be shared with media outlets and the community.
