For West Oso Middle School student Kane Odum, inspiration came unexpectedly while he was driving. Observing various businesses sparked the thought, \u201cI can do that.\u201d By the time he turned 12, Kane had embarked on his entrepreneurial journey, and within a year, his efforts began to gain traction.<\/p>\n
His first foray into the world of 3D printing emerged from his school’s robotics class, where he learned 3D modeling. The initial creation? A Batman signal. Shortly thereafter, Kane teamed up with his friend, 24-year-old Demetrious Guzman, to form the company 361 Motion Makers. Together, they produce custom keychains, signs, and logos for customers throughout Texas.<\/p>\n
During a visit to their workspace, Kane and Demetrious showcased their work with a custom 3D-printed KRIS 6 News chain and a keychain linked to my Facebook page. I was intrigued by the name "361 Motion Makers." Kane explained, \u201cWe’re in the 361 area, Corpus Christi. And the motion maker \u2014 it\u2019s just like how we’re constantly going. We’re on a motion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their impressive designs have reached local high schools, including Miller High School, which Demetrious attended. Both young men take pride in their achievements, often reflecting on how their venture has developed unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
When asked about his plans for his earnings, Kane hinted at a surprise but emphasized his gratitude to his parents for their support, stating, \u201cThe reason why I am today is because of my parents.\u201d<\/p>\n
