The Chattanooga Fab Institute is a 3-day digital fabrication conference presented by Public Education Foundation and Hamilton County Schools that offers educators an opportunity to engage in authentic experiences with 3D printing, laser engraving/cutting, vinyl cutting, CNC routing, micro-computing, and much more!
​
This is our flagship, 7th annual institute for educators eager to learn more about how the world's largest FabLab network, VW eLabs, is transforming education! This year, we have added PreConference Workshops on July 8th, where attendees can jump into introductory sessions to learn the basics of how to use the equipment and software featured during the institute.
PERSONALIZEDEXPERIENCES
In response to attendee feedback, we have once again improved the experience. For 2025, we are offering pre-conference workshops on July 8th. This requires separate registration ($30), but allows attendees to engage in hands-on, tool-specific learning to gain a basic understanding of how to use the equipment and software prior to the institute!
Each day will feature brief tech-workshops as attendees gain hands-on experience working with the technology in the labs. While no one can master this tech in three days, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience the joy and wonder of learning when you can "make almost anything!"
