<與史丹福大學協作>
STEM教育行動」FabLearn Hong Kong 2016
探討如何建立FabLabSTEM教育最新趨勢
日期:2016111011

源自美國史丹福大學的FabLearn會議,匯聚學者、教育工作者、科學教育研究人員及從事政策制定的各界人士,探討如何把創新思維及動手解難的學習文化帶到現今的教學環境。FabLearn會議的重點之一就是建設式學習,亦即是「自造文化(Making)」,而會議至今已發展成一項全球教育盛事,以推廣STEM教育——包括科學(Science)、科技(Technology)、工程(Engineering)和數學(Mathematics)。自二零一一年起,FabLearn會議除了每年在美國史丹福大學舉行外,亦曾於丹麥、澳洲、巴西及日本等地舉辦。

今年十一月十及十一日,「STEM教育行動」很榮幸能主辦本港首屆FabLearn會議,並有幸邀請本地及海外的多位傑出學者及教育機構,分享其真知灼見及教學經驗。是次會議的主講嘉賓包括美國西北大學助理教授及創新科技教學實驗室負責人Marcelo Worsley博士,以及史丹福學人及Design Case Consulting創辦人Mark Schreiber先生。此外,屆時亦將設有講座、工作坊及STEM教育工作者與業界人士的分享座談。會議活動及報名詳情請見下文。

現誠邀 貴校校長及老師參與是次會議,如欲參與,煩請填妥及遞交以下回條。所有活動費用全免,惟因場地有限,名額先到先得

靜候佳音,敬頌

教安!

Originated in Stanford University, the FabLearn Conference has acted as an inspiring platform that brings academics and educators, learning sciences researchers and policy-advisors together to put curiosity, innovation, and hands-on problem solving back into today’s schools. Integrating the principles of constructionist learning, or popularly known as “making”, the Conference has been a flagship global education event supporting the development of STEM education, i.e. the learning of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Since 2011, the Conference has been held not only at Stanford annually, but also in Denmark, Australia, Brazil and Japan.

This year, STEM Initiative Hong Kong has the pleasure to host the first FabLearn Conference in Hong Kong on 10th and 11th November. Outstanding academics and educational partners from both local and overseas institutions will share their insights and experience, including Dr Marcelo Worsley, Assistant Professor at Northwestern University where he directs the Technological Innovations for Inclusive Learning and Teaching (TI2LT) Lab, as well as Stanford Fellow and Founder of Design Case Consulting Mr Mark Schreiber. The Conference will also feature talks, workshops and sharing sessions by STEM educators and professionals in the industry. Please refer to the attached for programme and registration details.

You are cordially invited to the Conference. Admission is free and available on a first-come-first-served basis. Should you be interested, please complete the enclosed reply slip and send it to us at your convenience.

Thank you for your kind attention and we look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,
