Lab school brings manufacturing technologies to middle-school classrooms
DESCRIPTION
Based on the promising results of ITEST project The FabLab, the Commonwealth of Virginia provided seed funding to design a laboratory school for advanced manufacturing. Buford Engineering Design Academy, a laboratory school for advanced manufacturing has recently launched. In conjunction with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sept. 30, National Science Foundation (NSF) leaders, UVa faculty and UVa and Buford students toured the site and saw the school's capabilities.
