AMHF is a year-long European challenge that involves several elementary school classes in the development of an original object printed by an additive manufacturing machine.
In 2023, the theme was sustainability, and young students and their teachers had to choose between two challenges: giving a second life to an existing object by inventing another use for it with 3D-designed and printed elements, or extending the life of an object originally intended to be thrown away by improving it with printed parts.
