Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the origins and applications of digital fabrication and "making" in education, and discuss how they can be implemented, researched, and developed in schools. Our discussion is based on several papers and posters that we summarize into three categories: research, technology development, and experiences in formal and informal education.
