• Work in Progress: Fab@School Designer™ Fab@School Designer is an exciting new software tool that allows teachers and students to design and fabricate 2D designs, pop-ups and 3D projects that support math, science, engineering, language arts, social studies, and other standards. Designs can be fabricated by hand, with a 2D fabricator, or with a 3D fabricator. Students have fun exploring STEM concepts as they "make to learn." Click here for more information.
