Welcome Letter

Dear educators,

On behalf of Houston Community College, I’d like to welcome you to the 2018 U.S. Fab Lab Symposium at our new West Houston Institute. We are honored to host this symposium and to share some of the creative ideas that are helping to shape the world in which we live.

We are especially proud of the West Houston Institute located at the Alief Hayes Campus. The institute is known as the “Intersection of Innovation + Education,” and the state-of-the-art facility is designed to facilitate the collision of ideas and concepts.

While you are here, please make a point to visit our Makerspace, a creative workspace that provides all the equipment to build almost anything – from 3D printing, to coding applications and STEM education projects.

I want to thank all of you for taking part in this year’s Fab Lab Symposium. Your presence here will go a long way toward helping to navigate the many challenges the future will bring.

Sincerely,

Cesar Maldonado, Ph.D., P. E.ChancellorHouston Community College

Steven GonzálesFor nearly 30 years, Mr. González has applied his skills in visioning, strategy, innovation and fostering collaborations to benefit the human exploration of Space. At the NASA/Johnson Space Center (JSC), he led the team to develop the 20-year strategy for the Center and was instrumental in creating numerous strategic initiatives that connected NASA to the entrepreneur and innovation community in Houston. Among these were the JSC Acceleration Center that enabled the Houston Technology Center to connect entrepreneurs to NASA engineers on JSC’s campus and the NASA Executive Liaison program with the Greater Houston Partnership that lead to the creation of the Space Com Conference and Exposition. Mr. González has been embedded in the innovation ecosystem in Houston during his tenure as the NASA Executive Liaison at the Houston

Technology Center (HTC) and the NASA Executive Liaison at the Greater Houston Partnership (GHP). During his time at GHP he created a stronger alliance between NASA and the startup community and strategized with GHP leadership on the future direction of the innovation ecosystem in Houston.

Earlier in his career Mr. González lead a number of technology labs focused on providing advanced technologies to support the human operations of space missions and he also instructed the crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia STS-65 mission on the vehicle’s computer and navigation system. Mr. González has received numerous awards and was nominated as one of the 100 Most Important Hispanics in Technology and Business. He received his Master of Science at Texas A&M University and his bachelor’s at Boston University.

How Wisconsin Became the Nationwide K-12 Fab Lab LeaderRoom: 161

Don Sidlowski – Northwoods Economic Development Coalition

“In 2013, there were only five Fab Labs in the state of Wisconsin, and none in a K-12. Fast forward to 2018 and over 200 public school districts (47%) have formally adopted plans to implement STEAM curriculum based around a Fab Lab maker space, with many of those districts having already implemented and launched. The author will demonstrate step-by-step how a public-private partnership (P3) of government, education and private sectors, from the state capitol down to the local levels, accomplished this incredible collaborative transformation such that other states can replicate the process.”

Introducing Middle School Teachers to Digital Fabrication LabsRoom: 169

Sallye Coyle – Director of Community Outreach & Education – ShopBot Tools/TIES

"When the decision to add digital fabrication labs/maker spaces to a school district comes from the top down (Administration), the teachers who will be implementing the labs can be overwhelmed and/or resentful. It is important for the Administration to provide sufficient Professional Development and time for the teachers to realize the amazing resources they have available. We will report on a School District in Florida that has successfully implemented 7 digital fabrication labs in magnet middle schools, and how they won the teachers over."

12:15 -1:15 PM Lunch Break Featuring:Ideation to Fabrication

To learn more about SOFWERX, we invite you to listen in on Mr. Wade’s SOFWERX 101 presentation."


SCOPES – Digital FabricationRoom: 171

Netrrice Gaskins

"SCOPES-DF is the first project of its kind to specifically develop effective pathways and resources for using digital fabrication in STEM education. SCOPES-Digital Fabrication offers educators new models and methods for teaching. It offers students relevant, engaging, applied learning opportunities. Experts, knowledge, resources, and tools beyond the normal classroom environment ensure K-12 learners continue to discover, create, solve problems, and think critically while learning in powerful engaging ways. This project is primarily intended to support teachers, students, fabricators, and makers. Yet, it is meant to address the concerns of anyone who cares about STEM education and wants to find ways to make it accessible and meaningful."

Iterative Design Praxis; Evolving Methods of Makerspace Management Through Student Staff Service Learning Projects

Room: 169Morgan Chivers – FabLab LibrarianKatie Musick Peery – FabLab DirectorStudent employees

“Iterative design” is a buzzword bandied about more liberally than its principles are employed; what happens when we embrace intelligent risk-taking and empower students with legitimate agency to solve the myriad struggles of building a makerspace, running the space efficiently, creating marketing materials, and utilizing the tools within to better customize the lived experience?

At the UTA FabLab, we earnestly endeavor to apply the ethos of iterative design in all our efforts, though this has been most overt in the special projects accomplished with our student employees; we hired smart students from a variety of majors, trained them to operate digital fabrication equipment, and assigned them to apply themselves to specific problems individually suited to push their boundaries of what they had learned through coursework, exploring beyond curricular concepts by seeking applied solutions to real problems, creating deeply impactful learning experiences.
