About this event

Level-up your STEAM projects and program with laser cutting and engraving as you learn the basics, including design thinking and rough prototyping, which will build your students' capacity as creators.

Join the Allegheny Intermediate Unit’s transformED for a hands-on experience to learn how you can level up your STEAM projects and program with laser cutting and engraving! In this workshop, which will take place at Fluxspace Experience Center, we will review the basics of laser cutting/engraving, provide an overview of design thinking and the importance of rough prototyping, and share examples of projects you can do with your students. Participants should bring their laptop to get the full experience of designing, engraving, and cutting with various materials, leaving with their own custom-made projects using our FLUX Inc. laser cutter. Topics covered in this workshop apply to most other models of laser cutters.

Background | The mission of Fluxspace is to help educators, schools, and organizations experience the future of learning environments and understand the innovative programs, products, experiences, and mindsets that should take place in them.
