Aligned with the rich design and cultural attributes of Marvel Studio’s Black Panther we offer a special collection of digital fabrication lessons inspired by this film.
Marvel’s Black Panther Official Trailer
IN THIS COLLECTION
Our team of experts in Afrofuturism, computational thinking, culturally situated pedagogy, K-12 standards and digital fabrication technologies have translated years of research into practical classroom applications for teachers to introduce to their students the tools and capabilities that enable them to dream, design and make (almost) anything.
OUR COMMITMENT
Along with the global Fab Lab Network we are committed to democratizing access to the technologies and knowledge of digital fabrication. This Black Panther Collection represents a timely opportunity to broaden pathways to STEM education by providing inclusive learning experiences at the intersection of cultural expression and technology.
