We are currently working on implementing an Engineering SBE at our school where a Makers Space/Fab Lab will be established and the question becomes what we can do with it outside of the Engineering program itself? Teachers and students from core classes can use the lab as a means to incorporate concepts the Engineering students are learning about in their core subject areas such as implementing the use of 3d printers in a history class to print out artifacts from an era they are learning about and then presenting them as part of a project. Additionally, we've ideas to incorporate our Business program into the Engineering program where students can learn to design and print products that the Business students will market and pitch to local businesses to sell. That in turn allows us to open the lab up, after school hours, to the community where businesses and individuals who fulfill certain criteria (training and payment) can use the lab space for their purposes as well.
