St. Jude FabLab is part of St. Jude School, a K-12 school in Costa Rica, Central America. St. Jude School is part of ISP (International Schools Partnership).
In this site you can find general information about us and information about FabAcademy 2020 cycle.
In 2013 the school decided offer students the opportunity to develop non traditional, highly demanding projects, using technological resources as means of expression.
This initiative evolved into a space for didactic experimentation, and as such, it allowed to use video games, electronics, coding, design and fabrication as tools for teaching and learning.
In 2017, a member of our staff obtained FabAcademy certification, and FabLab St. Jude started officially. Our lab focuses in spreading digital design and digital fabrication skills for young students and teachers, encouraging creative solutions to local problems, as well as development of projects that integrate 21st century skills and elements from official curricula into the process.
In 2020 we were approved as a FabAcademy node.

Basic skills include designing (2D and 3D), fabrication skills, software, machine operation, safety at the lab, and others.
