Introducing the dFab Hub

The Design & Fabrication (dFab) Hub is a new co-curricular program that gives students, faculty and staff, the skills necessary to turn their ideas into realities. Through a variety of after-school, Z Block, and lunchtime offerings, students learn how to use a range of hi-fi and lo-fi tools and materials, such as laser cutters, 3d printers, sensors, and microcontrollers, X-Acto knives, hot glue guns, and more. We are excited to have this program supplement all areas of students' academic, personal, and SIP interests, as well as enrich teachers' own skill sets and their ability to imagine novel projects for their classrooms.

We are excited to welcome Marin Vesely as the inaugural coordinator. When you see Marin, please extend a warm welcome. Students can introduce themselves to Marin after school in the Design & Fabrication Hub (Room 7). Stay tuned for more ways to get involved.
