The FabSchoolNet general objective is to create a new model of educational network and a new way of thinking about the goods fabrication, by applying “learning-by-doing” & “hands-on” activities in student classes, encouraging them to participate more intensively, in a corporate workflow, from concept, design, prototyping, fabrication and marketing, with the support and participation of the Small-Medium Enterprises. Furthermore, the project aims to develop and implement a training program with three modules, based on the latest modern technologies and tools used in STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), such us educational robotics, 3D printing and mobile technologies using augmented reality (AR) applications. The modules approach will be enriched with elements and themes in the field of Entrepreneurship Education, encouraging participants (teachers, students, etc.) to develop this new way of thinking and to act dynamically in a global market economy. The training programs will be finalized with various competitions / challenges, which aim to encourage participants to consult the real business environment so that they can acquire the ability to think and develop models and ideas closely related to the real market, using their own knowledge, skills and abilities. The activities developed within the project aim to involve the participants at all levels, from conception, design to product realization.
