A new paper entitled “Developing new approaches to equitable education” has been presented at the 8th Annual Conference on Maker Education FAB LEARN 2019. The paper presents a case study in which architectural students that come to the university classroom with a different background and cultural context, at risk of poverty and social exclusion, engage in on-site and remote access to digital fabrication technologies through a platform designed for the Horizon 2020 European Union Project NEWTON (Networked Labs for Training Science and Technologies). The platform is an innovative tool that provides technology-enhanced learning to increase learner quality experiences for all.

The conference took place on March 9th – 10th, 2019 at the Teachers College of the Columbia University in New York in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery, Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (ACM SIGCHI).
