FabLearn Australia 2015

An Australian first, FabLearn Australia 2015 is inspired by Stanford University’s global FabLearn conference which has been instrumental in the integration of digital fabrication in education over the past four years.

Date July 3, 2015 - July 3, 2015
Time 9:00am - 6:30pm

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.
