Τhe eCraft2Learn project in 1st EPAL KORYDALLOS: integrating a FabLab in the school curriculum

Περίληψη

Digital technology is radically changing the way people work in industry, finance, services, media and commerce. At the same time, schools are in difficulty to promote this knowledge due to the lack of the pedagogical models on how to apply new technology into teaching in a meaningful way. This work is a part of the implementation in formal education of a Horizon 2020 project called eCraft2Learn. The 1st EPAL KORYDALLOS implemented a part of the project in a FabLab in its facilities. In this work the methodology that was applied is based on, the Constructivist learning by making methodology that is strongly related to the do-it-yourself (DIY) philosophy. The main goal, for twenty-nine students, was to come up with solutions in engineering problems reinforcing personalised learning and teaching in science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) education.
