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.

STANDARDS-ALIGNED

Community contributed lessons aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)  offer formal educators innovative pathways to teaching content knowledge. The Fab I Can Statements are a resource to develop technology-literate learning progressions to align with content standards.

FAB TESTED

Periodically lessons are adapted and tested by the Fab Foundation team based on a call for submissions from fabbers, educators, and makers.  Our inaugural set of lessons for the SCOPES-DF project were Fab Tested in 2016 and are tagged Fab Tested on the website.
