About Fab@School
Fab@School is a development of Fab@Home for UK schools undertaken by Torben Steeg with David Barlex from the Nuffield D&T project and Martin Stevens from Unimatic. Our first aim is for Torben and David to build and test one of the standard (US imperial) Fab@Home kits and the progress of this will be reported in the blog. At the same time Unimatic are working to create and source a metric version of the kit for the UK market. Once we have established that the kit is sufficiently easy to build, we will start to work with UK schools to examine its curriculum potential.
We are also keeping a close eye on the RepRap development.
