Calling all teachers, educators, and those looking to bring STEM education to their communities. NextFab, alongside STEM Ed Consulting, are hosting a day of learning and professional development to engage educators serving diverse populations.
This one-day event will be hosted at NextFab, at 1800 N American St, in Philadelphia, where participants will work hands-on, learning how to start or level up their makerspace, connect with other educators and makers, and take home a customized project. Starting with a tour of NextFab, our technical experts will lead hands-on workshops to help participants make either a custom leather accessory, cheeseboard, or piece of textured jewelry to take home. After learning hands-on, the day will break for lunch before moving into interactive workshops and demonstrations, learning about makerspace safety and laser-cutting. Closing out the day, participants will learn about the opportunities and how they can be a part of the Maker Education Movement, an initiative dedicated to empowering K-12 schools in the greater Philadelphia region to embrace and advance maker education.
Integrating the maker mentality in the classroom allows students to own their learning while developing career readiness. No matter where you’re starting, start making at NextFab and see how this approach can benefit your community.
