Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this paper we will focus on a dual model ofengagement in order to globally establish digitalfabrication and making in education. We believe thatdigital fabrication and making in education will notspread and grow roots within the broad educationalsystem without changes in policy on national andinternational level. We strive to expand theunderstanding of establishing digital fabrication andmaking in education by discussing the implications of adual model of engagement through a case study. It isfurther the hope of the authors that the example willserve as inspiration to others, and may ultimately leadto better integration of digital fabrication in education in a global context.

Makerspace in School – Experiences from a Large-Scale National Testbed
- 2016
-
In: FabLearn Europe 2016.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digital fabrication and making are increasingly being used in formal and informal learning environments. However, while many of these initiatives often start from a grassroots perspective, with little coordination on a national level, we now present a study on the first part of a large-scale national testbed for Makerspace in schools (Makerskola). The project embodies a series of issues that arise when a maker approach is applied to a geographically widespread national education context. The results of this study are based on an analysis of the extensive project documentation and first-hand experiences. The findings focus on the on-going experiences with initiating and running a large-scale national testbed in Sweden, involving more than 30 formal actors and hundreds of active partners in a national educational landscape.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this paper we will focus on different perspectives ondigital fabrication and making in special education.Firstly, we will bring up observations from field studiesin a special education school. The observations concernthe implications of different teaching styles based onwhether the teacher is trained in design thinking or not.Secondly, further perspectives concern knowledgesharing among teachers in special education, and morespecifically how to index a digital archive of digitalfabrication teaching resources for special education.The paper will shortly introduce two of the projectswhere our perspectives stems from, and further discussthe perspectives. It is the hope of the authors that theperspectives will enrich the discussion on digitalfabrication and making in special education.
