Project Backgrounder

The B.08.2 “Supporting the Pilot Implementation of a National Network of Digital fabrication laboratories (Fab-lab)-Peru (MINEDU)” project was a 14-month (2022-2023) initiative supported by Global Affairs Canada (GAC), managed by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) in the framework of its Pacific Alliance Education for Employment Program. Humber College led the project with supporting institutions, Cègep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (CSTJ) and Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB), and implementation partner, the Ministry of Education of Peru (MINEDU) to contribute to the objectives prioritized in Vice Ministerial Resolution No. 211-2021-Minedu: “I learn at home, I learn at school, and I learn in the community.” With support from Humber’s Office of Research and Innovation, the consortium implemented Digital Fabrication Laboratories (Fab-labs) in the 26 Technological Institutes of Excellence (IDEX) of Peru to ensure that the trainees develop the skillset they need for launching and strengthening the Fab-labs in 26 IDEX in Peru. Project partners will provide well-structured, high-quality services adequately meet the needs of teachers, students and graduates. Together, the Canadian-Peruvian team will develop developed training plans and strategies that supported the integration of these technological tools (Fab-labs) in technical training courses and institute curricula fostering gender inclusion and equality and innovation through digital manufacturing technology.
