Join four educators in digital fabrication for a panel discussion of how staying home has impacted their teaching and their students’ learning. Educators Yeohyun Ahn (University of Wisconsin Madison), Anna Campbell (University of Wisconsin), Taekyeom Lee (Iowa State University), and Matthew Wettergreen (Rice University) teach students design process and how to fabricate objects in the real world using tools of production, including but not limited to 3D printers, laser cutters, and molding/casting techniques. But when the world all went home, these facilities were off-limits. Pivoting halfway through the semester, each educator developed exercises and challenges that were possible for their students to complete while at home or quarantined in their apartments.
In this panel discussion, each educator will share their experience as well as what worked, some practice tips for other educators, and of course, what didn’t work. Please join in the conversation by listening, asking questions, and sharing your own best practices in what will be an invigorating discussion
