Description of the project
The project “Fablab Schools EU: Towards Digital Smart, Entrepreneurial and Innovative Pupils” aims to develop common methodological principles for digital fabrication education across Europe. This new technology that includes programming tools such as 3D programming, 3D printers, lasers cutters presents a pressing need to boost the new generation’s creativity, productivity and entrepreneurial spirit.
The project will develop innovative approaches and cutting-edge ICT-based methodologies to motivate students to learn and to prepare them for the tech-savvy labour market of the 21st century. In order to achieve this, a consortium composed of schools, municipalities, regions and resource centres will work closely together to reach an optimal understanding and implementation. Different pedagogical methods for digital fabrication will be experimented in the project.
