The CSAS VW eLab is in a public magnet K-12 school in Chattanooga, TN called Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences (CSAS). We are one of 16 labs funded by Volkswagen Chattanooga and the State of Tennessee. Our lab curriculum focuses on the collaborative process between the eLab Specialist and Classroom teachers to design projects that align with content standards and push kids to think critically while using the engineering design processes. The lab is also open to our school community at large during "open hours" and with special scheduling. The lab includes state of the art digital fabrication equipment like microcontrollers, robotics kits, 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, and a CNC router as well as more traditional fabrication tools for woodworking, sewing, and a heat press. Students, families, and community members learn design thinking techniques and various digital fabrication software to examine complex problems and prototype solutions.
