Fabo X Academy Winter Bootcamp 2018

中国数制工坊“数制学术 X”冬令营

Fablab O Shanghai’s “Fabo X Academy China”, is a modular course about digital manufacturing and rapid prototyping. The course is based on MIT’s “How to Make (Almost) Anything” course and the Fab Academy global seminar. Fablab O has been iterating its Fabo X Academy for many years through experience teaching collaborations with schools and universities, cooperating with institutions implementing fab labs, its Fabo X Academy three weeks seminar, hosting digital fabrication competitions, and numerous symposiums. The Winter Bootcamp is geared toward educators desiring to understand, experience and improve their implementation of STEAM related activities in teaching practices. Additionally, the Winter Bootcamp will introduce and extend an invitation to Fablab O’s concept of a regional collaborative network of fab labs and STEAM educators within China. FablabO Shanghai / 中国“数制”工坊的“Fabo X Academy China / 中国智造学术 X”是一个数 字化制造及快速成型技术的课程。该课程基于麻省理工学院“How to Make (Almost) Anything / 如何智造万物”课程和 FabAcademy 的全球课程。 Fablab O 通过与全球其他 fablab 以及各高校 合作的经验,还有主办数字化制造竞赛和众多的研讨会,一直在更新迭代“中国智造学术 X”的课 程。本次冬训营适合于希望了解、体验和改进教学实践中的 STEAM 相关活动的教育者。此外,冬 训营将向国内的 fablab 和从事 STEAM 教育的参与者们介绍并扩大一个 Fablab O 的区域协作网络 的概念的邀请。

WHY A BOOTCAMP FOR EDUCATORS?

By understanding the basic concepts upon which Fablab O built its practice, educators will experience how Fablab O create and organize its courses at a regional level and they will be able to run them in their own site as local instructors.

为什么为教育者举办冬训营?

通过理解 fablab O 实施实践的基本概念,教育者会体验 Fablab O 怎样创造和构建它的在地域的课 程体系,然后教育者们将能够作为当地指导者了解实验室的开展,开发自己的课程体系,并拓展区 域及全球网络。本次冬令营是营建中国数制工坊联盟及推进课程建设的第一步。

KEY CONCEPTS / 核心概念

Fablabs enable STEAM education worldwide

More than 1500+ fablabs in the world, connected on a global network, are creating STEAM contents and bringing them to schools and students.


Fablab O created a STEAM education platform in China

Fablab O is the first fablab established in a university in China to focus on education and it is developing a Fablab regional network with Chinese characteristic that will be able to bring the global experience into the Chinese system.


Fablab O shares contents and practices to run a fablab

Over the years and with the involvement of leaders from the global network, Fablab O acquired an extended experience on opening, running and managing a fablab, and all this material is shared among the new and old members of the regional network of China.


More educators need to be trained to be leaders in the regional network

Machines, courses and experience are not enough to make the regional network of China bigger and stronger: more trained professionals are needed. The Fablab O’s Bootcamp objective is to give educators the skills needed to be a leader in one of the future fablabs in the regional network of China.


Contents are generated locally and shared regionally

As part of the regional network of China, educators will have access to the education contents created in Fablab O headquarter with video conference classes, and when they create contents locally in their own site, they will be able to share them with the regional network and also with the global network.


Fablab 提供全球范围的 STEAM 教育

全球超过 1500+的 fablab 通过网络互连,正在创造 STEAM 的内容并将它带到学校和学生。


Fablab O 搭建了一个中国 STEAM 教育的平台

Fablab O 是中国第一个开放创造实验室,它是一个建立在大学并关注于教育的 fablab,FABO 在 MIT 的合作基础上,试图营建一个具有中国特色的当地 fablab 网络,将当地经验回馈到国际网络。


Fablab O 分享内容和实践去运营一家 fablab

多年来随着全球网络的领导者的参与,Fablab O 获得了一个更多的经验去开展,运营,管理一家 Fablab,并且所有的材料分享给中国当地的一些网络联盟。


更多的当地网络的教育者需要被训练成领导者

机器、课程还有经验是不足以让中国的当地网络变得更大更强:需要更多的受到训练的专业人员。 Fablab O 冬令营的目标是让教育者具备成为一个未来中国地区网络的 fablab 领导人的一些技能。


内容由当地产生分享给地域

作为中国地区网络的一部分,教育者能够通过视频会议课堂取得在 Fablab O 总部创造的内容,并且 在实验教学的过程中创新适合本地的内容,的地点创造了当地的内容,同时通过在线平台,可以把 内容分享给区域性网络或者全球网络。


BACKGROUND / 背景

The germ of fab labs started as a collaborative platform for exploring how the content of information relates to its physical representation. Leveraged by an open-source, share everything ethos, fab labs have quickly spread throughout the world. As of December 2017, there total 1205 official fab labs, worldwide. A fab lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-scale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication. A fab lab is typically equipped with an array of flexible computer-controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make "almost anything”. Recognizing the unique challenges within China and the profound advantages of open-source collaboration, Fablab O, China’s first fab, has established a platform to install and manage new fab labs and a modular curriculum of STEAM related contents. Fablab O is raising a regional collaborative network of fab labs in China in which every school or institution with a fab lab will be connected, receive educational content from the global and regional network, and in turn share their local discoveries and content creation.

Fablab 起始于一个探索信息的内容如何与其物理表征相关联的协作平台,通过开源代码和分享一切 的精神,fablab 迅速在全球范围内蔓延,截至 2017 年 12 月,全球共有 1205 家 fablab。Fablab 可以称为制造实验室,它是一个为个人提供数字化制造服务的小型工作室,fablab 里通常配备一系 列灵活的计算机控制工具,涵盖了多种不同的尺寸和种类的材料,旨在“智造几乎万物”。鉴于中 国国内独特的挑战性以及开源合作的深远优势,中国第一家“数制”工坊 Fablab O 已经建立了一 个设置和管理新的 fablab 的平台,以及一个 STEAM 相关内容的模块化课程。Fablab O 正在筹建 一个在中国的 fablab 的区域性协作网络,在这个网络中,每个拥有 fablab 实验室的学校和机构都 将连接起来,接收来自全球和区域网络内的教育内容,然后分享他们在当地的发现和创作内容。

In October 2017, Fablab O organized the STEAM Education Symposium, hosted at Tongji University’s College of Design & Innovation, to spread and promote innovation in the traditional education system. Throughout three intensive days, the event held a number of lectures, workshops and demonstrations helping hundreds of Chinese educators to deepen their understanding of how fab labs are helping their peers understand and implement STEAM education worldwide. Further, Fablab O fielded countless questions and challenges from the participating educators in regards to their experience with STEAM education. The FABO X Academy Winter Bootcamp has been formulated in direct response to these inquiries.

2017 年 10 月,Fablab O 与中国教育协会联合在同济大学设计创意学院组织举办了 STEAM 教育的 研讨会,传播和推动传统教育体系的创新改革。在紧张的三天期间,该活动举办了一系列的讲座、 研讨会和展演,帮助数百名中国教育工作者深入了 fablab 实验室如何帮助他们和同行理解并实施全 球范围的 STEAM 教育。 此外,Fablab O 也从参与研讨会的教育工作者那里获得了许多有关 STEAM 教育经验的问题和挑战。“FABO X Academy / 中国智造学术”的冬季训练营将对这些疑 问进行直接反馈。

OBJECTIVES / 目标

Fablab O’s Winter Bootcamp will offer educators the opportunity to extend their understanding and experience with fab labs as an ecosystem for education through intensive seminars and technology-specific training workshops. The bootcamp is further intended to challenge the participants to take an active role in the definition and future development of the regional network in China, through discussion tables with local and global mentors and collaborative design sessions. The bootcamp culminates in participants creating new workshops generated through the training they received in digital fabrication, electronics and coding exercises across the week. These new workshops will be shared with all attendants and may be used for future education in their classrooms!

Fablab O 的冬季训练营将为教育工作者提供机会来加深他们对 fablab 的理解,通过深入的研讨会 和特定技术的培训工作坊,增加实际操作经验,作为对教育生态系统扩展。训练营还旨在通过与当 地和全球的导师协作设计会议的圆桌讨论,挑战参与者在中国区域网络未来的定义和发展中发挥积 极作用。此次冬训营的高潮是让参与者们通过接受为期一周的有关数字制造、电路和编程的课程练 习来创建新的工作坊,这些新的工作坊将与所有的出席人员共享,并可能在未来各自的教育领域中 使用!
