Fab Lab Connect in partnership with Schlumberger and the University San Francisco Quito, has built a new School Fab Lab in Ecuador to develop the next level of curriculum in STEAM education for K-12, working with the University to adapt the program to the Teacher College’s vision. The lab will be open to schools in Ecuador where teachers can come with their students from schools around the region.
