CALL FOR PAPERS
We are arranging FabLearn Europe 2019 conference in University of
Oulu, Oulu, Finland on May 28-29, 2019. The two-day conference
brings together international researchers, educators, designers,
and makers to discuss and explore digital fabrication in
education, making in educational contexts, and hands-on learning
for the 21st Century. See
http://fablearn.eu for the conference
web site. FabLearn Europe is organised as a sister conference to
the global FabLearn conference that has been held over the past
years at Stanford University, USA.
Deadline for the conference papers will be February 28, 2019.
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library in
the FabLearn Europe 2019 proceedings. Extended versions of the
best papers of the conference will be invited to be published in a
special issue on Digital Fabrication in the Elsevier International
Journal of Child-Computer Interaction.
Best regards,

FabLearn Europe invites submissions for the fourth FabLearn
conference in Europe to be held May 28-29, 2019 at University of
Oulu, Oulu, Finland. The two-day conference brings together
international researchers, educators, designers, and makers to
discuss and explore digital fabrication in education, making in
educational contexts, and hands-on learning for the 21st Century.
FabLearn Europe is organised as a sister conference to the global
FabLearn conference that has been held over the past years at
Stanford University, USA.
We seek submissions of papers, workshops, posters and demos that
focus on topics related to learning and technology within the area
of digital fabrication. We welcome submissions from people from
multiple sectors including teachers, practitioners, technologists,
designers and academics. Key areas of interest include:
• Explorations and evaluations of digital fabrication in schools
such as best practice case studies.
• New methods for digital fabrication that have been tested in
educational contexts.
• Theoretical concerns concerning digital technologies, education
or fabrication.
• Emerging technologies for digital fabrication.
• Innovative ideas in research and education with digital
fabrication.
• Design thinking, innovation or entrepreneurship in education.
All submissions will be made
here:

PAPERS
The paper track is intended for those conducting research. This is
a venue to present original research results in the realm of
digital fabrication and “making” in educational settings. Papers
must cite relevant published work, indicate novel approaches, and
stress the importance of the submission to the digital
fabrication/makers/hands-on learning communities. Full papers are
submitted and they must be between 6-8 pages in SIGCHI Papers and
Notes Format (
https://sigchi.org/templates/). Authors of accepted
papers will be given 10-minute presentation slots and are
encouraged to consider novel presentation methods. Authors will
also have the optional opportunity to present posters to speak
with attendees about their work.
Please prepare your paper in a way that preserves anonymity of the
authors. Content will be rigorously reviewed in double-blind
review process by members of the program committee. Each paper
will receive feedback in the form of at least three peer review
reports. The final selection will be made by the Program Committee
based on the review reports. The program committee reserves the
right to ask authors for specific changes as a precondition to
publication.
Papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library in the
FabLearn Europe 2019 proceedings. Extended versions of the best
papers of the conference will be invited to be published in a
special issue on Digital Fabrication in the Elsevier International
Journal of Child-Computer Interaction.
WORKSHOPS
Workshops are interactive sessions demonstrating best-practice in
innovative digital fabrication and/or hands-on learning activities
used in classrooms, museums, and any other type of learning space.
The workshops should be designed to last 1 or 2 hours and will be
open to attendance by conference delegates. If your workshop
targets teachers please make this clear along with why teachers
would find attending your workshop valuable.
Workshop organisers are invited to submit a 2-page summary of the
workshop in SIGCHI Papers and Notes
Format (
https://sigchi.org/templates/). Workshop summaries will be
published in the ACM Digital Library in the FabLearn Europe 2019
proceedings.
POSTERS
Posters are intended for anyone (teachers, practitioners,
technologists, designers and academics etc.) working within the
digital fabrication field who wish to share and discuss their
ideas, insights, and findings with others. Poster submissions
consist of a description of the work and a physical A0 poster
summarising the key points. Posters will be displayed during the
conference and delegates will be encouraged to visit the posters
and ask questions of the authors during breaks.
Poster submissions take the form of 2-page papers written in
SIGCHI Papers and Notes Format (
https://sigchi.org/templates/.
Poster papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library in the
FabLearn Europe 2019 proceedings.
DEMOS
Demos are intended to showcase new digital fabrication tools,
hands-on learning platforms, construction kits applicable to
education, and student projects. The demos will be showcased
during the conference and are similar to posters in that attendees
will be encouraged to visit the demo stands during the breaks.
Demo submissions take the form of 2-page papers written in SIGCHI
Papers and Notes Format (
https://sigchi.org/templates/). Demo
submissions will be published in the ACM Digital Library in the
FabLearn Europe 2019 proceedings. Authors of demo submissions will
also have the optional opportunity to present posters to speak
with attendees about their work.
