Held at Australia’s first FabLab@School, located at Lauriston Girls’ School in Melbourne, Victoria, the conference will provide participants with an opportunity to discuss and learn about digital fabrication in education and hands-on constructionist learning, and hear from inspiring keynote speakers.
Despite the increasing integration of cutting-edge technology in schools, many classroom activities are disconnected from what researchers know about learning. FabLearn Australia 2015 aims to build a solid community of like-minded leaders to productively build on each other’s knowledge.
A number of practical workshops will be offered to participants. These include ’Introducing coding into the classroom’, ‘Learning by making’ and ‘Tapping into the learner’s sixth sense.’
It’s a great opportunity to see a FabLab in action and meet other like-minded educators.
