Fab Lab Grant Applications Due January 22, 2016
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | December 1, 2015
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is administering a new program for Wisconsin public school districts. The Fabrication Laboratories (Fab Labs) Program will provide grants to districts to help them equip Fab Labs within public schools.
Fab Labs incorporate technologies such as 3D printing and computer-assisted design to give students hands-on experience, allowing them to put into practice concepts they have learned in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) courses.
Grants to help public school districts create or expand these labs will be available in amounts up to $25,000 per district. The funds may be used to purchase equipment used for instructional and educational purposes by elementary, middle, junior, or high school students.
Fab Labs grants will be awarded through a competitive process, with applications for the first grant year due January 22, 2016.
