🛠️Fab Academy

A distributed educational model platform for learning ecosystems

What is it about and why is it relevant ?

The Fab Academy is an educational model platform that offers a distributed (rather than remote) educational model: students learn in local workgroups, with peers, mentors, and machines, which are then connected globally by content sharing and video for interactive classes. The Fab Academy model may serve as inspiration but also it could be directly connected to the CENTRINNO School programs. It is an opportunity to develop micro missions and address challenges that are found at the Fab City Hub Network's city scale related to innovation and circular economy. The 9 Fab City Hub Networks' pilot cities developing training programmes at regional, national or international level may find this approach suitable because it provides a structure for mixed activities: theoretical, practical, remote and onsite.

This method shall be implemented along the whole learning process to be effective, over several weeks or even months. It can be complemented by an onsite bootcamp, which is a sort of concentrated version of the distributed model.
