WHAT: Construct3D 2023: Next Steps for Digital Fabrication in Education CFP
DEADLINE: May 8 Extended: May 22
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION: Now through June 2, 2023
As requested by the Construct3D Higher Ed community, which is just catching its breath from wrapping up the Spring 2023 semester, we will be extending the CFP deadline until May 22. Our intention for this extension is to give everyone adequate time to submit their best proposals.
Construct3D is seeking proposals for workshops, posters, papers, demos, and lightning talks that focus on topics related to how digital fabrication impacts learning and teaching. This year’s conference will be placing an emphasis on hands-on workshops, taking action, and applied-learning experiences, and the afternoon programming will be dedicated to workshops where attendees can learn about software, hardware, designing and documenting projects, and techniques to foster student engagement and collaboration.
Tracks:
- Next steps for Makerspaces (can include collaboration and workforce development)
- Next steps for Teaching with Machines: Engineering Design and Virtual Design meets Digital Fabrication (including Artificial Intelligence, Generative Design, Robotics, and AR/VR-related topics)
- Next steps for Teaching for Health Care: Digital Fabrication in the service of Design for Medicine, Medical Devices, and Biofabrication
- Next steps for Accessibility, DEI, Social Justice, and Sustainability (economic, social, and environmental)
- Next steps for Design: Art, Interactive/Game Creation, Architecture, Data Visualization, Industrial Design, and Sculpture
Some compelling topics (a non-exhaustive list):
- Student Engagement and Success
- New hybrid hardware/software tech stacks that introduce new capabilities
- Effective collaboration and communication practices
- Equity and Community in Education
- Catching up students whose math/science/STEM skills have been diminished by the pandemic
- Formulating the teaching practices for the new generation of students
- New ways for physical output created by generative and computationally-driven design strategies
- Impact and opportunities from artificial intelligence and machine learning tools and platforms
We welcome submissions from educators, students, practitioners, technologists, designers, and researchers.
