Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

From kindergarten to high school, discover how schools, libraries, and programs across the country have used research-based Fab@School Maker Studio to create practical, affordable makerspaces using paper, cardstock, and inexpensive digital fabricators. This session provides hands-on opportunities for getting comfortable with easy, paper-based digital design and fabrication software tools. Participants experience the benefits of rapid paper prototyping, which allows for quick cycles of testing and iterative design enhancements - especially helpful within limited class periods. Explore best practices, appropriate to get all students (PreK-12) designing and creating. During this session, participants also learn more about grant opportunities for New Hampshire schools in addition to discounted software pricing available through NHSTE.
