  2. Technology Science Engineering Mathematics

  3. Facilitating Imagine to Make

  4. Promise of Digital Fabrication for PK-12 Education • “Emerging Practices” • “Emerging Technologies” • Connecting STEM education to innovation and economic development: • Systems and design thinking (Design-Focused Learning™) leading K12 schools, teaching and learning to solve real-world problems that students care about and have relevance. • “Problems can not be solved by the same level of • thinking that created them.” Albert Einstein

  5. STEM Network Design COMMUNITIES EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS GOVERNMENTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT KNOWLEDGE CAPTURE& TECHNOLOGY ECONOMIC PROSPERITY POLICY& REGULATION PARENTS, TEACHERS & STUDENTS GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS

  6. FabEd’s mission is to facilitate integrating the enormous potential of digital fabrication with the tactical and practical needs of schools and school districts.

  7. A Network of Egypt STEM Schools • TIES, in partnership with World Learning, 21PSTEM, and the Franklin Institute is creating 5 STEM schools in Egypt • As a part of the school design, TIES is working with the Fab Foundation and Fab Lab Cairo to install, integrate, and develop Fab Labs in these schools • The first two schools, 6th of October and Ma’adi, are located in suburbs surrounding Cairo

  8. Trans-Disciplinary Capstones • Set of big ideas and essential questions for the grading period • Capstones incorporate required benchmarks, Fab Lab components, and Grand Challenges for Egypt’s development (water, energy, etc.) • Community and Network partnerships are crucial!

  9. A Network of Egypt Fab Labs An important component of the design of the Egypt STEM schools is the Leveraging and Networking of Regional /Community Partners in Egypt. This includes Fab Lab Cairo in addition to the school Fab Labs.

  10. Enhancing Industry-Education Partnerships with FabLabs • Industry partners are engaging directly with Fab Labs in middle schools, high schools, community colleges, and communities across the country. In many places Fab Labs are resources for developing and retraining the local workforce. • As part of these partnerships, industries are working with local schools and community colleges on projects, courses, and internships to encourage skills that empower learners to transition seamlessly between school and work in their local area. • Industry partners plan to augment the program with industry-targeted equipment and expertise to mentor and engage students in apprenticeship-like training experiences for middle, high, and post secondary schools that would be integrated into their education. • In some areas community colleges and industries are partnering around the IT aspects of the Fab Lab through focuses on computer programming, networking, and digital design. • Fab Labs have also begun to partner with ATE centers to help them fulfill their mission of “formulating new strategies to educate more students to become full-fledged participants in the world-class workforce the U.S. needs to compete globally.”
