Fab Learning Academy (FLA) is a distributed educational program that globally certifies educators to teach through the use of digital fabrication tools and technologies in education ecosystems.
The program aims to create links between technology, learning sciences, and innovative practices in education, to develop digital fluency, through maker methodologies, to improve the learning of new skills and transversal competencies for K-12 students, to build a better, equitable, and fair society for all.
In this 3-hour lesson, students design and create layered geometric paper artwork enhanced with a simple LED circuit. Using Inkscape, students construct simple geometric compositions such as circles, polygons, triangles, or stars designs into different layers. After the designs are cut using an electronic cutting machine, students assemble the layers using foam spacers to create depth and shadow effects. They learn how light interacts with geometric cut-outs and how a closed circuit powers an…
This lesson has been designed for students to work in learning centers. Four centers where kids are going to improve writing skills through different activities and work independent with the teacher monitoring. Center A: Grammar Practice Book. Center B: Fun Baamboozle. Center C: Timeline Creation. Center D: Perinola Game.
In this lesson, students explore rounding off decimals using number lines. In the past, number lines was drawn on the whiteboard to help students visualise rounding positions. To enhance engagement and understanding, this activity was upgraded using laser-cut magnetic number bars which are placed on the whiteboard, allowing students to physically manipulate and align decimals by pointing arrows and writing the decimals on the board.
In this art lesson, students are introduced to the concept of tessellations through the works of M.C. Escher. They learn how repeating shapes can fit together without gaps or overlaps, focusing on the translation style of tessellation. Using a pre-cut puzzle manipulative, students explore how shapes can interlock and repeat, helping them understand how to form their own tessellation template. With this hands-on experience, they then design a translation-style tessellation artwork based on creative themes…
