Purpose and challenges of the fablab

 

Global challenges =

“The existing work also points towards the fact that only few students have knowledge of digital fabrication (Hjorth et al., 2015). Students lack the knowledge of design processes and most of them do not act on their creative ideas (Hjorth et al., 2015). In fact, very few students act towards and realize an idea for a product or an invention that they had thought of. Such observations point towards a complexity of related opportunities and issues for creating in FabLabs.  Moreover, the utilization of FabLabs in facilitating formal education is a recent trend; therefore, so we require new frameworks and methodologies in order to maximize the acquisition of new skills in FabLab environments. Among the different types of learning methodologies, training in FabLab applies to project-based learning and provides work-like experiences (Slåttsveen, 2016; Bekker et al., 2015).” [1]
