In a "small factory" on campus, students can do it themselves and turn the ideas in their minds into final products. This imagination will become a reality in Gezhi Middle School. The reporter recently learned that Shanghai Gezhi Middle School will cooperate with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Bit and Atomic Research Center (MITCAB) to create the first Fab Lab (Fabrication Laboratory, Innovation Lab) in mainland China, which is expected to be put into use in September . According to reports, the Fab Lab Innovation Lab is an educational practice research project founded and managed by MITCAB in 2001. The initial design of the project was to provide a platform for the community or enterprise to manufacture the initial prototype of the product. As the project developed, Fab Lab was adopted by more and more schools. Through this laboratory, students can start doing experiments and products related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. According to the experience of the existing Fab Lab, the effective integration of this laboratory with major universities fully satisfies the students ’natural curiosity and interest in making things, so that students can understand the principles of making things on the basis of experiments. Come up with what they want. It changed from the traditional "preparation for the future" type of knowledge learning to the "I'm starting to do it now" knowledge learning model. Gezhi Middle School Fab Lab is mainly composed of a set of digital manufacturing machines and rapid prototyping machines, including: large CNC routers, 3D desktop machines and scanners, cutting plotters, laser cutting machines, electronic worktables, CNC lathes, and Multiple computers such as software design and computer programming are similar to a "mini factory". According to Zhang Zhimin, principal of Gezhi Middle School, with the help of Fab Lab, the school will design and implement school-based courses in the following two aspects: one is comprehensive courses in science, technology, engineering and mathematics; the other is innovative practice of hands-on ability training Class courses. By providing students with the corresponding experimental tools, Gezhi Fab Lab puts students in a real situation that can explore the entire process of engineering and manufacturing design, so that the preliminary concepts in students ’minds can be implemented on the drawings, and then from the preliminary model to There is a certain scale of model production, and then repeated design and redesign to produce the final product. At present, more than 40 countries in the world have built 267 standard Fab Labs. Statistics show that middle school students (especially female students) and students from low-income families have significantly improved their technological perception and technological innovation self-efficacy after participating in Fab Lab. 267 Fab Labs across the world have also been networked, and participating schools around the world are encouraged to communicate online and share wisdom and experience through video conferencing and other means.
