Fab Lab concept: laboratory for digital fabrication
Fab Lab concept: laboratory for digital fabrication
Interactive material from Fab Lab Oulu. Made by LET student in this course 2 years ago.
Fab Lab Oulu is a small digital manufacturing working area (fabrication laboratory) that complies with open innovation concept developed by MIT in the United States. In Fab Lab it is possible to design your own product or hardware from the scratch. Fab Lab Oulu operates within University of Oulu.

What's today? Our task
What's today? Our task
- Today we will be 3D designers and fabrications: work in small groups or alone. Choose interessting task alternative (see below)
- Remix: get inspiration from earlier projects and internet examples
- Design! (choose one of the alternatives)
- Raport! Shoot photos, videos etc. and compile document which can be shared into Padllet wall

Makey Makey & Makers activities
The Makey Makey is an electronic invention kit for all ages! The Makey Makey allows you to take everyday objects and combine them with the internet. Using the alligator clips attached to any conductive material you can control the keyboard of your computer, such as the space bar, arrow keys and left click of the mouse.

Alternative 2. 3D design and printing
"1. Improves student participation
Keeping students engaged can be challenging, especially when the subject is difficult and requires hands-on attention. 3D printing lets educators illustrate difficult concepts and enhance engagement through interactive learning. Increasing engagement within the classroom can improve student participation and creates a rewarding learning environment for all.
2. Promotes active learning
Being able to interact with a subject at every stage of the lesson helps students grasp the subject matter and retain information. This is especially beneficial when using physical learning materials or objects. For example, typically, when students are learning about fossils and artefacts, they are unable to touch or hold items. 3D printing lets students touch, study, and take home products that are as intricate as the real-world equivalent.
3. Encourages creative thinking
Being able to try new things, test theories, and think more creatively can aid the learning process. 3D printers encourage students to be innovative and creative because they can adjust their idea through trial and error. As a result, students are more likely to remember the facts and lessons learned.
4. Turns subjects into careers
Research has shown that there has been a lack of students pursuing STEM subjects after school. However, this is something that schools and universities can change. 3D printing can inspire curiosity in STEM subjects by giving students the chance to understand complex concepts and test theories. This can later encourage students to experience and explore a career in science or engineering.

Model repositiories; (you can use also readymade models as templates for remixing)
The STL (Standard Triangle Language) is the industry standard file type for 3D Printing. It uses a series of triangles to represent the surfaces of a solid model. All modern CAD (Computer Aided Design) software allow you to export their native file format into STL. 
HOX! At the moment you have to got to Fab Lab oulu for 3D printing. However, our 3D printing will be installed before christmas break.
Before printing
