The Public Education Foundation and the Hamilton County Department of Education are hosting the 2018 Chattanooga FAB Institute June 18 - 21 in Chattanooga, TN, in partnership with the NEA Foundation. This unique professional development is designed to give K-12 teachers one-of-a-kind experiences as they engage in hands-on learning with digital fabrication tools in the brand new Volkswagen eLabs! This inaugural event is offered to teachers for a FREE thanks to a generous grant from the NEA Foundation.
The 4-day digital fabrication PD offers teachers an opportunity to engage in authentic experiences with 3D printing, laser engraving/cutting, vinyl cutting, CNC routing, micro-computing, and much more! Each morning, guest speakers, including STEM Gems author, Stephanie Espy, and Maslo Founder, Ross Ingram, will keynote and kick off the day. Then participants will be shuttled to a nearby school where Volkswagen eLab Specialists (the full-time specialized teachers in these labs) will facilitate day-long learning activities as they unpack not only the basics of how to use the technology, but also the nuances that are critical to delivering effective maker-enhanced learning experiences for students.
