Description: | This project team developed a prototype of the FabLab Construction Station, designed to support 2nd grade teachers and students in designing and fabricating 2D and 3D geometric shapes, bulletin boards, paper airplanes, pop-ups, and other materials. The final product will be aligned to outcomes in math and engineering, and is intended to support the acquisition of knowledge in topics including shapes, geometry, pre-algebra, and measurement. Curricular materials for teachers will be designed to integrate the product within existing practice. Phase I research demonstrated that the prototype tutor functioned as planned, and that teachers and students were highly engaged by the prototype. |
