Join us at the TCT 3Sixty Main Stage for a special SMF Rising Star Award session celebrating neurodivergent talent in engineering, STEM, and 3D printing.
📍 Hall 8, NEC Birmingham
📅 Thursday 4 June 2026
⏰ 12:30 PM
🎤 Hosted by Teula Bradshaw, CEO of the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation.
The session will begin with a live panel featuring all three previous SMF Rising Star Award winners:

Hear what they’ve been up to since winning the award, how their journeys have evolved, and the impact the SMF community has had on their careers and confidence.
We’ll then announce the 2026 SMF Rising Star Award winner live on stage!
The winner will receive a PRUSA CORE One+ 3D printer and the opportunity to become an SMF Star, gaining access to mentorship, training, grants, and tailored STEM support.
