FabEdu is a European cooperation project that aims to bring innovation in the field of youth work. The initiative is lead by Digijeunes, in part- nership with Vectorealism (Italy), Fablab Pau (France), the municipality of Alba Iulia (Romania), and Combustible Numérique (France)
Objectives
Over a period of 18 months the project consortium produced a set of open educational resources on the topic of digital fabrication. The project’s delive- rables are expected to facilitate the implementation of educational digital science workshops across Eu- rope, thus contributing to improving digital literacy among youth, and challenging the digital divide.
Communication
Our communication campaign covered all participating organizations’ countries, thus reaching several hundreds youth practitioners and young people across France, Romania and Italy.
The FabEdu team was notably involved in a number of public events on maker and digital culture such as the Toulouse Mini Maker Faire, or the Manifattura Milano.

Results
We have produced a number of tutorials and physical objects to enable youth workers across Europe to launch their own hands-on workshops on digital fabri- cation.
Our educational resources rely exclusively on free and open source hardware/software, and are divided into 3 modules :
- Introductory activities on digital fabrication
- Hands-on activities on 3D modeling, 3D printing, laser cutting, 3D scanning, and traditional DIY
- Tutorials on how to build and use mini DIY CNC machines
