Central California Fablab At Fcss

The Office of the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools provides educational leadership, fosters partnerships and coordinates services to districts to ensure equitable opportunities for ALL students. We are building a new program under the STEM Department to design integrated curriculum to allow students to understand how their core subjects and hands-on skills are imperative as they move into adulthood. Our goal is to bring our educational model to the community at large through the lens of the FabLab model and charter. Our hope is that as students move through our program, they connect to the FabLab community at large and take the practices and procedures with them to broaden their outlook and experience.

The Central Valley of California is an Agricultural hub and has a recent push for manufacturing and fabrication. With this new focus on technology in industry, it is imperative to include instruction relevant to that at the high school level. Our aim is to serve as that conduit and connect with the industry and follow the trends so that students are prepared to fill the needs of our community.

This fablab was formerly at a different location. We are in a transition as we build our facilities and acquire machines. We will be fully operational in September of 2025.
