Deadline Extended -- FabLearn 2013 Call for Submission due July 27th
by FabLearn 2013: III Digital Fabrication in Education Conference 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

*FabLearn 2013 - Call for Submissions - Deadline Extended to July 27th * ** **FabLearn 2013 invites submissions for its third annual conference, to be held on October 27th - 28th, 2013 at Stanford University. FabLearn is a venue for educators, policy-makers, students, designers, researchers, and makers to present, discuss, and learn about digital fabrication in education, the “makers” movement, and hands-on learning. We are seeking submissions for contributions to our Workshops, Demos, Educator track, and Research track. Research papers at FabLearn will be peer reviewed. Deadline for all tracks: July 27th, 2013 by 11:59pm (PDT) More info and submission formats at:**** http://fablearn.stanford.edu ** Conference chair: Paulo Blikstein (Stanford University)**** Conference organizer: Kathryn Papadopoulos (Stanford University)**** Conference co-chairs: Sherry Hsi (Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley), Erica Halverson (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Deborah Fields (Utah State University), Jaymes Dec (Marymount School, NYC), Angi Chau (Bourn Lab, Castilleja School, Palo Alto)** ** ** WORKSHOPS**** ==========**** For educators and designers to lead a 2-hour workshop for conference guests demonstrating digital fabrication and/or hands-on learning activities used in classrooms, museums, and any other type of learning space. Presenters of accepted workshops will receive a modest travel/registration financial aid (to be split by the presenters).**** ** ** EDUCATOR TRACK**** ==========**** For teachers, administrators, museum staff, and program facilitators to reflect on their experiences with digital fabrication and hands-on learning activities in classrooms, museums, and any other type of learning space. Your submission should contain a description of your formal or informal educational experience and an explanation of its importance to the digital fabrication/makers/hands-on learning communities. We do not expect these submissions to follow strict academic language and structure, but we expect some reflection beyond the simple narrative of the experience. How can the experience be useful for others? What are the lessons learned? What facilitation principles can be derived from the experience? What can we learn about the design of digital fabrication/makers/hands-on learning experiences? (References to literature and previous work are very welcome, but not required).**** ** ** RESEARCH TRACK (FULL PAPERS)**** ==========**** For researchers to present current research in the realm of digital fabrication, hands-on science and engineering, and “making” in educational settings. Acceptances will be based on contributions that report original work. The paper must identify and cite published work relevant to the paper topic, explain how the presented work has built on previous contributions, and indicate where and why novel approaches have been adopted. Authors of accepted full papers will have 15 minutes for oral presentation during the conference.**** ** ** RESEARCH TRACK (SHORT PAPERS)**** ==========**** For researchers to present current research in the realm of digital fabrication, hands-on science and engineering, and “making” in educational settings. Acceptances will be based on short paper contributions that report original work. Authors are encouraged to demonstrate work in progress and late-breaking research results that show the latest innovative ideas. We invite presentation of ongoing work and preliminary results, by experienced academics as well as young researchers and designers. Short papers are not expected to include as complete a literature review as full papers. Papers should stress the importance of the submission to the digital fabrication/makers/hands-on learning communities. At the conference, authors of accepted short papers will participate in a ‘madness’ session, giving a very quick overview of their work. This will be followed by a poster session where they will have the opportunity to speak with attendees about their work.**** DEMO SESSION**** ==========**** For developers and educators to showcase new digital fabrication tools, hands-on learning platforms, construction kits applicable to education, and student projects. At the conference, authors of demos will participate in a ‘madness’ session, giving a very quick overview of their work. This will be followed by the demo session where they will have the opportunity to demonstrate their product or project. Your submission should contain a detailed description of the product or project being demonstrated, relevant previous work, and an explanation of its importance to the digital fabrication/makers/hands-on learning communities. All demos will have available an internet connection, a table, and an outlet. We will not be able to accommodate special equipment needs for demos (only in very special cases.)
