Time: Monday 2:45PM

Room: North 129 A-B

 
Implementing SOLIDWORKS in a Manufacturing Curriculum Educators and trainers will learn how to infuse SOLIDWORKS and Solid Design into a manufacturing curriculum or training program. Learn key components of solid design for CNC machining and 3D printing

 

Speaker:  Dave Zamora, Ztech Manufacturing LLC

Time: Monday 1:30PM

Room: North 221
SOLIDWORKS  (Household) Electrical for Technical Schools  Through project-based learning, this session will explore how SOLIDWORKS Electrical is used in Technical High Schools throughout the Netherlands. Intended for teachers and instructors, attendees will create their own templates and custom symbols, and develop single-line and multiline schematics. Common, easy-to-obtain components for the classroom will be developed into a working model. The connection to 3D SOLIDWORKS will be explored.

 

Speaker:  Jack van den Broek, CADSMES BV

Time: Monday 1:30PM

Room: North 226B

 
Secrets of the Universe Revealed: Earth, Moon, Sun, the Seasons, and Zodiac This session will use SOLIDWORKS to examine the earth’s orbit around the sun and why we have seasons, and calculate the hours of daylight on any day of the year. We will also use SOLIDWORKS to examine why we sometimes have solar and lunar eclipses, but not often. We will look at the similarities between astrology and astronomy and the signs of the Zodiac

 

Speaker: Paul Parise,  Convergent Technologies

Time: Monday 4:30PM

Room: North 128 A-B
Fab Futures: Fab Labs in Education and InnovationFab Labs are changing the way educators teach STEM, inspiring next-generation STEM workforce and innovators. The talk will give background on the Fab Lab network in education and innovation, discuss the Mobile Fab Lab (which will be at the event!) as well as discuss formal education implementation.

Speaker:  Sherry Lassiter, The Fab Foundation

Time: Tuesday 2:45PM
