FAB LABS Innovation towards
Industry 4.0
Computer modelling design STEM projects Robotics
Students (15-18y)
Young professionals
Young minds (10-14y)
To stimulate interest in STEM and in a technical profession, with a special attention on achieving strong female engagement
To encourage experimentation with photonics and grasp the strong enabling character of this technology in combination with other KETs (Manufacturing, Electronics, Advanced Materials)
To introduce them to specific aspects of photonics and trigger innovation in their products, with focus on technological possibilities and entrepreneurial opportunities
TARGET GROUPS
Increasing Creativity, Stimulating Innovation… towards Industry 4.0
Photonics Workshops
Photonics Challenger projects
Photonics Toolkits for fab labs
INDUSTRY 4.0
33 Photonics workshops
To understand and to master the enabling character of photonics and its many applications by making, within a very short timeframe, some fascinating component, system or piece of art based on the unique properties of light. - 11 Photonics topics - About each topic a workshop for the 3
different target groups → 33 workshops
- Developed in close collaboration with Pilot Fab labs
