Digital Modeling and Fabrication - FabLab Model Maker
The Fablab ModelMaker software gives students the opportunity to perform as planners, problem solvers, designers, inventors, mathematicians and engineers. Using Fablab ModelMaker software students can manipulate shapes, cubes, cones, cylinders and prisms to make 3D models and engage in various mathematical activities through engineering.
Details about the ModelMaker software can be found at www.aspexsoftware.com/fablab.htm
To provide the public school teachers an insight into the capabilities and usage of the Fablab ModelMaker software, the University of Hawai‘i College of Engineering will demonstrate this software:
- Hawai‘i Council of Teachers of Mathematics (HCTM) 2010 Spring conference, February 13, 2010 http://hctmannualconference.eventbrite.com/
- RET Sustainability Workshop on February 20, 2010
This group provides a forum for educators, Fablab ModelMaker developers and engineers to share ideas on how to use ModelMaker to advance STEM interest and promote STEM careers. This group will also focus on the importance of Mathematics in STEM education.
