Description: The CU Community Fab Lab supports education through promoting
interdisciplinary design thinking + learning and computational tinkering
in an inclusive and activist-oriented space. We offer a number of
university-level classes hosted exclusively at the lab and collaborate
with other units to provide workshop time and project support for
related and visiting courses. Over the past several years we've run
classes and activities related to (1) UXD, graphic and industrial
design, (2) communications, education and humanities, (3) engineering
and computer science as well as (4) business and entrepreneurship.
Activities have ranged from breaking apart and repairing ipads to
developing and running workshops with kids in underserved parts of the
community to coding colorful RPG games to prototyping solar-powered cell
phone charger inventions to even telling stories with cute plushy
robots. Learn about all of this as well as how you might leverage our
expertise and equipment to host your class at the lab.
