hands on project based learning skills while simultaneously
exposing them to multiple engineering disciplines Students built
their own, LED, Fuel Cell, Hovercraft, model aircraft, ice cream,
etc. They also learned the basics of advanced manufacturing with a
focus on how to use CAD software and 3-D printers FABCamp 2015 June

Novel Partnerships works out when there is common purpose and
pursuit We need more collaboration between University and K-12
Engineering must be at the table along with the Sciences and
Education NGOs play a key role Industry is our greatest untapped
resource Adopt a School Program Industry Partner University Partner

Tomorrows Classroom Stanford Universitys Sebastian Thrun and
Googles Peter Norvig Allowed anyone, anywhere to attend online,
take quizzes, ask questions and even get grades for free. In the
first few hours 5000 students enrolled, 160,000 by the beginning of
class Students hailed from more than 190 different countries
(Ukraine, Australia, China, US)
