FAB PLAY 

June 13-16, 2023

WHO

The Summer FAB PLAY conferences are open to all educators and organizations hoping to deepen their experience of teaching and learning in Fab Labs and Makerspaces, and share their expertise back to the larger community. Although there will be some sessions on machines and techniques, the overall goal of the institute is for all participants and presenters to learn from each other and obtain new ideas to implement in their own space. Experienced and new users of all skills and abilities are welcome.

FEE: $450.00 for 4 days

Includes basic materials, lunch, session supplies, access to all FabLab equipment and tools including Media Lab and Woodshop, and one social dinner.

OBJECTIVE

Establish a gathering of like-minded passionate educators that work as a community to share best practices across multiple platforms, generate new project ideas, and grow as network of Maker-Educators in Northeast Ohio and Nationally.

If you aren't sure yet we encourage you to POP-IN for a day to check things out, and we can work out payment at a later time. Just send me a note at ndigi@hawken.edu
