2. "MAKE (ALMOST) ANYTHING” digital fabrication = - MIT Media Lab

3. COMMERCIAL FABRICATION A concept that was once only available to a few…

4. PERSONAL FABRICATION …is now available to the masses.

5. 2D PERSONAL FABRICATION The beginning levels of a scaffolded K-12 integration

6. SO WHAT? How can digital fabrication be used meaningfully in the classroom?

7. STEM Science Technology Engineering Mathematics

9. "MAKE (ALMOST) ANYTHING” digital fabrication = - MIT Media Lab

10. TEACH (ALMOST) ANYTHING! digital fabrication =

11. THE PAPER ENGINEERING CLUB digital fabrication process + the production of pop-ups
