Introduce participants to 3Dc.io platform which is an online tool for 3D modeling and participants can start using it without creating accounts.
you have the choice to introduce the appropriate design tool such as Tinkercad, or Solid work app for kids SWAPP for kids.
for me, I chose to start with 3DC.io for the first 2 days, and then I introduced SWAPP for kids, on the last day (day5) they were free to choose the right software based on what they feel it more convenient for them.
the feedback of participants was very positive about SWAPP for kids so I suggest starting with it.
